Story time...

Damien Pignolet is Australian culinary royalty, whose journey brought him to Rozelle in the 90's. It was here that Damien operated the kitchen at the Sackville Hotel, cooking fantastic French food for the locals and visitors to the Peninsula. Damien also operated the Bellevue Hotel in Paddington, where he worked with our very own group Executive Chef Hamish Ingham, who was also a recipient of the Josephine Pignolet Award. Damien's impact on French cuisine in Sydney continued, as he lead the kitchen at Bistro Moncur at the Woollhara Hotel. It was here that he would work with our very own Head Chef Mark Williamson.
