Head chef Hideaki Matsumoto
Monkey Magic has recently appointed chef Hideaki Matsumoto to spearhead its kitchen team.
Hailing from Galileo at The Observatory Hotel in Sydney, Chef Matsumoto worked closely with acclaimed hatted chef Haru Inukai and Michelin star chef Masahiko Yomota. During his five years at Galileo, he learned the art of balancing Japanese and French flavors - experience he now brings to his new role as head chef at Monkey Magic.
The relaxed yet buzzing atmosphere of Monkey Magic is perfectly suited to chef Matsumoto's new menu.
Chef Matsumoto says: "My philosophy is to create Japanese dishes from a modern perspective, utilizing my Western culinary influence."
