NEW ZEALAND CHEF TAKES TO THE WORLD STAGE
Wellington-based chef and restaurateur Martin Bosley will be cooking
alongside the world’s greatest chefs at two major international food events in
March.
Mr Bosley, whose eponymous restaurant won the 2007 Cuisine magazine
supreme Restaurant of The Year award, will be the only New Zealand chef
cooking at the Melbourne MasterClass (Saturday 1 March) and the FoodEx
Food and Beverage Exhibition in Japan (Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 March).
The events underscore Mr Bosley’s status as a chef of the highest
international calibre. More than 95,000 visitors are expected at FoodEx, while
the MasterClass is the highlight of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
Mr Bosley has also been asked to cook at the Brisbane MasterClass later this
year – making him the first New Zealand chef to be invited to cook at both
Australian MasterClass events in the same year.
“It’s a fantastic honour for me. At the MasterClass I’ll be cooking seafood
alongside some of the world’s greatest chefs, including double Michelinstarred
London chef Michel Roux, offal expert Fergus Henderson and
Gabrielle Hamilton from top New York restaurant Prune,” says Mr Bosley.
In addition to the Melbourne MasterClass event, Mr Bosley will cook two extra
showcase dinners at Attica restaurant, run by talented young New Zealand
chef Ben Shewry.
“Working with Ben is an exciting opportunity – he is a very creative, talented,
young chef who experiments with flavours and technique, so I’m looking forward to creating the menu with him.”
In Japan, Mr Bosley will cook his signature seafood dishes, as well as
showcasing his skill with New Zealand beef and lamb, for New Zealand Trade
and Enterprise’s invited guests at the New Zealand exhibit.
“FoodEx is a great opportunity to promote the Martin Bosley brand
internationally, as well as to attract international customers to Wellington and
demonstrate the exceptional quality of our local produce. We’ll be working
hard to show other chefs from top international restaurants what they can do
with New Zealand food products on their menus.
“It’s great to be able to use food as a means of promoting Wellington, and
New Zealand, as a great place to visit and do business,” he says.
Please note:
Mr Bosley will be available for interviews in New Zealand between the two
events, from Wednesday 5 March to Saturday 8 March.

CUISINE MAGAZINE- Restaurant of The Year 2007
SUPREME AWARD WINNER
FINE DINING AWARD WINNER
We are thrilled to have been named the Supreme Winner, Restaurant of the Year, by Cuisine Magazine for 2007. As well as the Supreme Winner award, we also won the Best Fine Dining category. I would like to extend an enormous thanks to all our guests and staff who allow us to do what we do, forgiving us our excesses but allowing us our passion.
Martin was described as a rare restaurateur who takes passion for his profession to the highest level, attending to each and every detail that ensures his guests enjoy absolute satisfaction. Martin Bosley's is a class act which could well compete with top restaurants anywhere in the world. "You'll never want to leave the stunning long dining room with its close-up view of the harbour and the warm welcome that awaits from the well-trained professional crew."
Martin Bosley's offered an outstanding dining experience with every detail immaculately conceived and attended to. He has the most beautifully menu we have ever seen and presents innovative, pristinely fresh, fish-focussed food - totally appropriate to the waterfront setting.
We are full of admiration for a chef who presents a complex menu, yet is cognisant of the clientele and will simply panfry fish and serve it with potatoes and vegetables on request.
The judges found our food to be audacious, but delicious and well conceived.

A Wellington restaurant took top honours in the third annual Cuisine Restaurant of the Year Awards announced Friday the 10th of August 2007.

Head chef and owner of the acclaimed restaurant at the Port Nicholson Yacht Club on Wellington's waterfront, Martin Bosley's was described by judges as "a rare restaurateur who takes passion for his profession to the highest level, attending to each and every detail that ensures his guests enjoy absolute satisfaction".
Cuisine food editor and head judge Lauraine Jacobs said Martin Bosley's was a class act which could well compete with top restaurants anywhere in the world.
"You'll never want to leave the stunning long room with its close-up view of the harbour and the warm welcome that awaits from the well-trained professional crew."

2006 Dominion Post
'Best Restaurant in Wellington'
"But what really sets Martin Bosley's food ahead of the pack is its originality - both in flavours and textures .... As astounding as Martin Bosley's flavour combinations may be, thay are logically conceived, based firmly on experience , and unfailingly delicious."
The Latest North & South magazine has this month in their gourmet section, the Top 10 taste sensations in New Zealand.
The Intro reads
"...We have...no fewer than 6850 Restaurants, Cafes,
Coffee Houses and Caterers in our midst. North & South's food writers have nominated the Top 10 Restaurants they can't live without..."
We have been selected in the Top 10,and this is what they say:
"You're always assured of a curious combination of flavours at Martin Bosley's consistently good Oriental Bay Restaurant. Situated over the water, every table in this small yet cleverly designed space has a view across the harbour,and there is even an outdoor balcony for when Wellington turns on it's true clear-blue sunny days".
Inside it's a tricky long narrow room,white walled with exposed overhead beams. Despite it's upmarket clientele of CEO'S, Judges and astute foodies, Bosley's - with it's crisp white linen and comfy high backed chairs - has a warm and relaxing feel. And just when you're in the thick of gustatory pleasure, Bosley himself will wander out in his food-splattered chef's whites, to chat and check that his diners are happy.
Happy clientele will be eating gorgeous food...you begin to see what's meant by curious flavour combinations, but they work well. Bosley doesn't do silly.
He does what is arguably Wellington's best Restaurant wine list, focussed on nearby regions Martinborough and Marlborough. This Restaurant has been pompousley dubbed 'Avant Garde Haute Cuisine' but I'd rather call it good New Zealand food cooked how you'd never manage it yourself."
