Hong Kong saw the launch of Restaurant Australia on 3 September, with the centre piece being a long table lunch for 100 media and VIP guests in one of the city’s popular shopping malls with a tailor made menu designed and prepared by renowned Australian chefs, Ben O’Donoghue and Eddie Cofie.

Tourism Australia managing director, John O’Sullivan, said Australia’s people, produce and place sat at the heart of its Restaurant Australia campaign, as a way to demonstrate the country’s world class food and wine experiences to the world.

“Our aim is to demonstrate Australia’s culinary credentials on a global stage, and what better way to do it than harnessing our country’s best chefs, freshest produce and finest wines, all served up in the most iconic of Australian venues overseas,” O’Sullivan added.
