\n\tWith an increasing list some of Australia\u2019s best known fine dining restaurants closing , are we seeing the end of an era and the end of fine dining?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tMelbourne\u2019s Woodland House, Sydney\u2019s Sepia and Brisbane\u2019s Aria have closed their doors. Woodland House was bought out from Jacques Reymond in 014, but the owners said it wasn\u2019t financially viable for them to keep running. Matt Moran\u2019s Aria Brisbane has decided to go out on top, with the end of their lease a good time to say goodbye.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tThese are some of Australia\u2019s biggest names in fine dining, and they\u2019re facing challenges to keep going. Is fine dining a thing of the past?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tIt seems as though the dining experience is evolving. While Michelin starred restaurants around the world were always considered the peak in fine dining, now we have Michelin starred food trucks. Obviously the food standard is the same, but the experience is different. And if the world\u2019s biggest name in fine dining is hitting up street food, why wouldn\u2019t diners?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tWhat that means though, is that many traditional fine dining restaurants cannot compete when it comes to price. They have rent, wages, and other overheads to cover. With a push to work standard hours as well, it\u2019s becoming harder and harder for premium venues to stay afloat. A boutique experience comes at a boutique price. That isn\u2019t a bad thing, but the demand for it is not as high as it used to be.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tThere\u2019s still a place for fine food, it\u2019s the new experience that people want. This isn\u2019t necessarily bad thing. Evolution and innovation is what keeps industries alive, and is something that Australia is particularly good at. There\u2019s room for our favourite chefs to thrive, it just might not be in the same way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n \n\tSo yes, perhaps it is the end of an era, but maybe it\u2019s the start of something equally amazing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With some of Australia\u2019s favourite restaurants closing their doors, are we seeing the end of fine dining?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15321,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/15321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinnaclepeople.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
