Editor's Note

Executive Chef Paul Farag's Middle Eastern fine-diner at 25 Martin Place, opened 1 March 2022 and earning two Good Food Guide hats within months. Gourmet Traveller NSW Restaurant of the Year 2023; Farag was Good Food Guide Chef of the Year 2025. The kitchen has spent years researching dishes from the lesser-known regions and coastlines of the Middle East and North Africa, drawing on ingredients and recipes from tenth-century Arabic cookbooks. Modern presentation, scholarly research. Best as a tasting; the à-la-carte ordering misses the through-line the kitchen has built.— Yarranabbe Editorial
