Jacques Reymond |
||
| "Jacques Reymond, the man, has been in the game for so long it's easy to forget his contribution as a culinary innovator. He was one of the first to offer a degustation menu. Similarly, his classically based cuisine embraced Asian flavours and textures long before it was fashionable. His restaurant's rejection of entree-main in favour of small plates in 2002 has paved the way for countless imitators". - Necia Wilden 'The Age Good Food Guide 2009' |
