Demonstrating you don’t have to be a little boutique restaurant to have a sensational menu, Origins is redefining relaxed fine dining. The cream and brown colour scheme is complemented by crisp white linen and sparkling silverware to create a sophisticated dining area that appeals to the corporate sector, in-house guests and those wanting to celebrate a special occasion or simply dine on some first-class cuisine. Speaking of which, the menu has been given a welcomed overhaul by chef de cuisine Todd Stuart to incorporate as much fresh Australian produce as possible. It seems only fitting that a restaurant located in a well-respected hotel would promote the best produce this country has to offer, but I’m often surprised how many hotel restaurants fail to do so. So it is with great pleasure I can report that Origins has a menu that would make any Australian proud.
