ARIA Restaurant Brisbane unveils Autumn Menu 2010
As the temperature starts to chill just a little, Brisbane’s stunning ARIA Restaurant at Eagle Street Pier has unveiled an Autumn Menu, created specifically for the Brisbane palette. ARIA Brisbane has also changed the pricing structure of its lunch menu offering one course at $35 per person, two courses at $55 per person and three courses at $70 per person. The Autumn Menu has been created by Moran following the success of the Moran’s Lamb Lunch Showcase announced in March.
Moran’s Lamb featured different cuts of lamb produced on the Moran family sheep property (Matt grew up in country NSW and retains his ties to the farming community and his commitment to locally grown produce). This proved so popular, it prompted Matt and his team to design the Autumn Menu catering very specifically to the Brisbane palette.
The new autumn menu includes kingfish served with spanner crab, avocado, harissa and a smoked tea seasoning; cured ocean trout with celeriac rémoulade and beetroot mousse; as well as some of ARIA's favourites .... duck pie with caramelised witlof and parsnip, and the melt-in-your-mouth twice-cooked Bangalow Sweet Pork belly with apple purée, black pudding and Pedro Ximénez gel.
“We have been overwhelmed by the welcome Brisbane has offered us. As a result, and after six months now of operating in what is most definitely one of the most dynamic young cities of the modern world, we have designed a menu which we feel is very particular to Brisbane,” said Moran.
ARIA Brisbane joined the Brisbane restaurant family six months ago and since then has won rave reviews for delivery of its innovative and contemporary menu showcasing fresh local produce, its seamless service, spectacular position o verlooking the iconic Brisbane River, and the extensive wine list.
While Matt maintains many hours of work in the kitchen, he also donates much of his time to Australia's charity and arts dinners. He is supporting the 2010 Variety of Chefs Ball in Brisbane on June 5 as a co-MC and showcase chef, and is also lined up for a range of other causes.
His passion is always food and he continues to pave a successful career on the international and local culinary circuit. He has cooked at the prestigious gourmet house, James Beard in New York, and is currently a chef on the International Culinary Panel for Singapore Airlines accompanying names such as Gordon Ramsay, George Blanc and Alfred Portale. Closer to home, Matt has appeared as a judge on two series of Channel Seven's, My Restaurant Rules, has starred as the consulting chef on two series of Channel Nine's, The Chopping Block and more recently appeared as a guest chef on several episodes of Channel Ten's, 'MasterChef '.
