When a 3-Michelin star chef hits town it’s worth a standing ovation. When that 3-Michelin star chef has made his name by cooking for Di Caprio, Mendez, Ford, Minogue, Beyoncé, Travolta and Mr ‘shot down in a blaze of glory’ it’s time you sat down and ate with Italian gusto. Heinz Beck is the most awarded Italian chef in the world, holding more stars than anyone else.

Fine then, I get it, you get it, he’s brilliant.

Heinz has been dubbed the godfather of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine and he’s going to make you an offer you can’t refuse: you and Heinz and some other lucky diners can sit down for a series of 8-course dinners at Caffé Sicilia. The dinners will take place in November on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 and in December on Saturday 1.

Join Heinz’s as he visits Sydney for the first time (be kind, no Drop Bear gags) and makes himself at home in the typical Italian dining atmosphere of Caffé Sicilia. Don’t think of it as a $350 dinner, think of it as an experience. Better yet, think of it as an affordable trip to Sicily.

Caffé Sicilia is milking their celebrity chef for all he’s worth: Heinz will be putting together four legacy dishes that will be permanently on the menu. We’re pretty Caffé Sicilia will be practically engraving the legacy dishes into the menu, so you’ll be able to relive the culinary memories of the night long after Heinz has crossed the ocean back to his Michelin star restaurants.
