EXECUTIVE CHEF ALESSANDRO PAVONI
Alessandro Pavoni began his career in Brescia Italy in the early 1990’s working in establishments such as Carlo Magno working under the famed Igino Massari, and trained at the Art, Science and Technological Centre of Food in Brescia and at the Caterina de Medici Hospitality School. This was followed by restaurant Fiordaliso (Michelin Star) in Garda Lake Italy before moving to Bermuda and France where he further refined his techniques. After years spent in the gastroniomic northern region of Italy cooking in the Italian classical style, Alessandro moved to Australia to purse his two passions, food and his Australian wife. Making Sydney his home in 2003, Pavoni brought his talents in modern Italian food to his role as head chef at Luna Blu in Leichardt. Following this, he moved to Beachhouse restaurant in Whale Beach and then to the iconic Park Hyatt Sydney in 2005. Alessandro’s evident passion and sophisticated talent both in food science as well as management skill, has been acknowledged through his rapid rise through the ranks to take the helm in December 2006. He now leads the team of 26 in harbourkitchen&bar, Park Hyatt Sydney’s Tony Chi designed space.
In summary, the harbourkitchen & bar provides a perfect dining destination, with truly Australian flavoured cuisine, spectacular views of Sydney’s famous icons and harbour breezes.
