Once Upon a Time: Disney Degustation at Nel Sydney

Following the sell-out success of his first two menus, Chef Nelly Robinson of Sydney’s nel. Restaurant is bringing us ‘Chapter 3’ of his incredible 11-course degustation inspired by his favourite childhood Disney movies.

His ‘Once Upon a Time’ menu has made global headlines for its whimsical, out of the world dishes that remind us of our favourite childhood films with his distinct creative touch.

Once Upon a Time: Disney Degustation at Nel Sydney

The return of Nelly's Once Upon a Time menu on January 18 coincides with the launch of the new look nel. Restaurant following an exciting venue refurbishment over the holidays.

Starting with the Coco inspired ‘Day of The Dead’ and ending with ‘Crème De La Edger’ sugar milk bombs inspired by The Aristocrats, Nelly’s degustation will have diners who are lucky enough to secure a booking feeling completely overwhelmed with nostalgia.

This year, Nelly will be plating up Winnie the Pooh’s best and smallest friend, our beloved Piglet. Confit pork belly glazed in honey and topped off with carrots from the always gloomy Eeyore, ‘Hundred Acre Wood’ is the most delicious rendition of our favourite story you will see. Another highlight from the menu, and one that is already a firm favourite of the nel. Restaurant team is the incredible Boo’s Best Friend, a white chocolate and mint parfait resembling Mike Wazowski’s eye topped with James P. Sullivan coloured fairy floss - yum!

Nelly loves to truly surprise his guest and so many details of the menu are still under wraps, but we can reveal that some of the other 11 dishes in his degustation include Black & White, which is Asian style steam buns served with cultured olive butter, Man’s Red Fire, Tikka and wildfire spiced slow-braised lamb ribs and Dead Man’s Chest, which serves up red squid tubes marinated in spiced beetroot juice and topped with a black garlic emulsion. This is a Sydney dining experience that is not to be missed!
