UNIVERSAL offers an a la carte menu of tastes inspired by flavours of the world and Christine's extensive global travels, with distinctive and definitive flavour combinations that are not limited by traditional boundaries. The menu attempts to broaden the parameters of the dining experience and appreciate the natural symmetry between food and wine.

Boutique wines with an emphasis on small producers across the globe have been sourced to reflect our philosophy of universality.

A short list of contemporary cocktails has been created to mirror the flavour profiles and ambience of UNIVERSAL.

The menu and wine list will be constantly changing and evolving directed by creative exploration and the market availability, seasonality and sustainability of produce.

"Driven by a deep seated passion and a desire to explore and experiment, my aim is to offer a personal insight into and a summary of the wonderful and exotic adventures that have been an intrinsic part of my life and all

matters of gastronomic significance over the past few decades, a work that draws from personal experience and impressions. It's about a life built around food; its source, inspiration, cultural differences and influences - a starting point for understanding time and place, different cultures and how travels have affected and impacted on everything I do and the way I think and interpret the world. It has been these influences and diversity that have shaped my personal direction, with food that crosses cultural boundaries with confidence without being

labeled fusion and parallels the direction of what has become part of our own heritage, development and repertoire in Australia, a culinary freestyle that has enriched our food culture and given it maturity and world renown. Experiences that culminate to create a rich tapestry that constantly invigorate and inspire the pleasures and conviviality of the table."
