BridgeClimb serves dinner

Australia has become known for its high standard of food in restaurants. But who could have guessed that it would come to this?

On Wednesday 12th October, Australian restaurateur Luke Mangan took on the role of top chef, serving three of his culinary masterpieces at the first ever pop-up restaurant on the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Lucky diners were Jin Zexin from Guangzhou, China, a Sydney resident of six years, and Samantha Strachan from Jervis Bay, NSW, who were invited to enjoy some of Australia's best food and best views.â€¨â€¨

Zexin said at the summit, “This is the most incredible dinning experience. Each of the three courses were unbelievably delicious and I can't imagine a more breathtaking view or more Australian location to enjoy this moment from.”

For the unforgettable meal, it wasn't 'pie in the sky'. Chef Mangan handpicked and specially customised three of his signature dishes to meet BridgeClimb's stringent safety requirements: Luke's signature kingfish sashimi, organic egg crab omelette, enoki mushroom and herb salad, miso mustard broth, and Australian lamingtons.

More than 3.5 million people aged from eight to 100, from more than 137 countries, having climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of the city's most recognisable landmarks, since BridgeClimb opened in 1998. There have been marriage proposals on climbs, but no one has ever before dined at the top of the bridge.

BridgeClimb has hosted famous chefs including British chefs Jamie Oliver and Willie Harcourt-Cooze and Indian's Sanjeev Kapoor, but Sydney chef Luke Mangan was the first to be invited to take up this unprecedented offer and demonstrate the sky-high possibilities of a bespoke Bucket List experience.

This is BridgeClimb's second venture into the culinary space, following The Canape Climb; a tailored experience inviting corporate groups to scale the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and taste specially created catering delights at the summit.

Sydney-sider Luke Mangan is a leading Australian restaurateur and chef, with 19 restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining in five countries, as well as on Virgin Australia Business Class and onboard five P&O cruise ships.

A high-achiever, he obviously also has a head for heights!
