A three-Michelin-starred restaurant is taking over a stunning waterfront Sydney spot this month
The pop-up will run for four days only – July 24–27 – with just 250 seats available. I'd say run, don't walk, but you can only reach the waterfront restaurant by seaplane or boat. If you're due for a go-hard-or-go-home outing, this is it.
The menu will feature a mix of signature Maaemo dishes, including 'Oyster Tradition 2010', which will see Norway's Bømlo molluscs swapped for Hawkesbury oysters, as well as a handful of yet-to-be-revealed plates.
Boyle says: 'It's a major and slightly terrifying challenge to recreate these dishes without a single item from the Maaemo pantry – there's a whole alphabet of ingredients we need to replace – but it's very exciting to recreate and even elevate dishes through a purely Australian lens.'
'Dishes will closely resemble those served in Oslo, but will also be completely bespoke, taking on the unique flavours of Australia, cooked up by a couple of Australian chefs at the top of their field, in an iconic Australian setting,' says Geraghty.
Hailing from Newcastle, Boyle is one of only three Aussie chefs running a three-Michelin-starred restaurant globally, alongside Matt Abé (Restaurant Gordon Ramsay) and Brett Graham (The Ledbury). YTB.
Boyle will be sourcing top Aussie produce to reimagine the dishes. Instead of king crab and hazelnuts, there'll be Hawkesbury mud crab in macadamia milk. Wattle seeds will replace coffee in the smoked Atherton raspberries and brown cheese dish. There'll be pistachio miso in place of pumpkin seed for the lamb course, and marron will sub in for langoustine.
Other native ingredients being celebrated include emu egg, bunya nut, Atherton raspberry, Geraldton wax, Australian tamarind, sunrise lime, Davidson's plum, cinnamon myrtle, rosella flower and rye berry – sourced via local suppliers including Tinja Farms and Newcastle Greens.
Geraghty adds: 'This is our second Maaemo x Berowra Waters Inn collaboration in two years, and with this uniquely all-Australian version of the menu highlighting incredible native ingredients, we're expecting it to be even more special than the first.'
The Maaemo x Berowra Waters Inn 14-course tasting menu is $420 per person, with two optional wine pairings at $220 and $340. Book here.
Can't make it this time? On a related note, Jack Brown – proud First Nations man and head chef at Berowra Waters Inn (ex- The Zin House) – has created the July menu now available at Two Good Co Café in Darlinghurst. Designed to spotlight native ingredients, the menu features dishes like a pastrami Reuben with a lemon myrtle mayo-mustard spread; Warrigal greens soup with smoked ham and native dukkah; and wattleseed and macadamia blondies.

Mind the three Bs of dressing appropriately
Milan's La Scala is not the only place to request less flesh on display (No shorts, no flip-flops: La Scala bars beachwear from the opera, 7 July). In the Australian city where I was on holiday, many restaurants and bars had become impatient with people who didn't cover up on leaving the beach. Being Australian, their instructions were clear and to the point. They put up signs outside stating 'Remember the three Bs: No boobs, bellies or bums'.Angela BartonBishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire In the good old days you could buy a carry-on bag that all airlines would accept.

A three-Michelin-starred restaurant is taking over a stunning waterfront Sydney spot this month
Ready for an extraordinary experience? Norway's three-Michelin-starred restaurant Maaemo – located in Oslo and known for its innovative Norwegian cuisine and zero-waste philosophy – is heading Down Under this July for its second residency at Sydney's Berowra Waters Inn. Australian-born executive chef Jay Boyle will join Berowra Waters Inn owner and executive chef Brian Geraghty to serve an exceptional 14-course menu of Maaemo dishes, reimagined using local ingredients, at the fine diner located on the picturesque Hawkesbury River. The pop-up will run for four days only – July 24–27 – with just 250 seats available. I'd say run, don't walk, but you can only reach the waterfront restaurant by seaplane or boat. If you're due for a go-hard-or-go-home outing, this is it.

Hobart's kooky underground art museum is officially one of the world's most beautiful buildings
Australia is full of natural wonders that stop you in your tracks and make you reflect on how amazing the world is. And while Mother Nature is a force to be reckoned with, we also deserve some credit. Human hands have shaped some of our country's most recognisable landmarks – places so striking that people travel across the world just to snap a photo. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House might come to mind first, but a bold Tasmanian museum has just been named one of the world's most beautiful buildings in a new Time Out list. All 24 buildings featured on Time Out's latest global ranking are a feast for the eyes – many of them with equally enchanting stories. Only one Australian landmark made the list, which is a big deal when you're listed alongside icons like the Taj Mahal, the Pantheon and the Sagrada Familia. That beauty sash goes to Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) – a building that's not only one of the most beautiful, but one of the most fascinating too. Carved into the Triassic-period sandstone cliffs of the Berriedale peninsula, this architectural wonder is an incredibly scenic 40-minute ferry ride from Hobart along the Derwent River. It's framed by water, vineyards and hills that make it as stunning from a distance as it is up close. The story of MONA is quite remarkable. Founder David Walsh initially opened a tiny museum of antiquities on the lonely peninsula – but when nobody turned up (in his words), he decided to think bigger. Walsh flipped the concept of a traditional museum on its head, creating the Batmobile-like structure that we all know and love today. The vision was that MONA wouldn't just display art, but would be part of the art. To avoid overshadowing the surrounding properties, much of MONA was built underground — a moody network of dimly-lit, subterranean chambers that house its exhibitions. The site also includes an art conservation area and an on-site theatre. Pharos is the newest part of the building, which was opened back in 2017, and is accessible via two tunnels. Arguably MONA's most recognisable component, Pharos features a 14-metre inverted parabola that juts out over the Derwent River and is home to one of the museum's exceptional restaurants. Part of MONA's beauty is that it's an ever-changing monument, and you never know what wild idea David Walsh will bring to life next.
