Vivid Chef Series: Ester x James Lowe

For three nights only London’s James Lowe joins Mat Lindsay at Ester for an exclusive Vivid Chef Series collaboration. James, the chef-owner of Michelin-starred Lyle’s in London, has long admired Ester, once describing it as his “spirit animal restaurant.” His deep respect for Mat’s ingredient-led, wood-fired approach began years ago, leading him to invite Mat to cook at Lyle’s for his celebrated Game series. Now, the collaboration comes full circle in Sydney, where the two chefs will create a one-off menu celebrating the best NSW produce.

Known for his sustainable, pared-back philosophy, James brings a wealth of experience from his time at St. John Bread & Wine, The Fat Duck and The River Café.

Set within Ester’s intimate Chippendale restaurant, this event promises to be an unforgettable meeting of two exceptional culinary minds.
