The story of this place
Attica is Australia's most acclaimed restaurant, consistently ranked in the World's 50 Best Restaurants.

Shewry's New Zealand heritage and connection to Australian ingredients inform a deeply personal tasting menu that celebrates native produce—from marron to wallaby to foraged coastal greens. The restaurant has earned three Chef's Hats and countless international accolades, but Shewry's commitment to storytelling and sustainability keeps diners returning. After 20 years, Attica remains at the forefront of Australian cuisine.
