Belle Artist’s Dinner

Katering recently had the pleasure of creating a special menu for the Belle Artist’s Dinner at Dinosaur Designs in Sydney. The evening was a celebration of fine food, wine, art and design and was sponsored by Petaluma wines.

Michael Reid took the stage and interviewed Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy from Dinosaur Designs. They spoke passionately about their empire, what’s in a design and what it is that inspires them. Whether it be something as simple as a word, their designs stem take something small and tell a beautiful story.

Guests were entertained with an intricately crafted three-course menu, here’s a sneak peek at what we served on the night.
