“I bought a camel,” says Australian celebrity chef Roy Ner. It’s the chef’s equivalent of “I bought a jeep,” and if nothing else, it tells me this Surry Hills newcomer is bringing something new and different both to Sydney and to Lebanese cuisine.
I tend to get a bit nervous when food is given refinement in an attempt to swing the bat to the pointy spectrum of dining. Sometimes salt-of-the- earth fare is spectacular when left alone in all its fragrant, pickly, smoky, finger-licking glory.
Rising from work experience newbie to ARIA sous chef in seven months, Roy Ner has proven his cooking chops in silver service. Now as executive chef of Sydney restaurant Nour, he’s giving Middle Eastern classics a fine dining feel.
