Simon Rogan’s three Michelin Star restaurant L’Enclume, which was recently ranked as the number one restaurant in the world by the French restaurant bible, La Liste, is returning to Sydney’s Bathers’ Pavilion for a six-week residency from 16 July until 24 August 2025.
This is the second time Rogan has brought L’Enclume from its home in Cartmel in The Lake District of Cumbria, Northern England, to Balmoral Beach’s iconic Bathers’ Pavilion. It was a sell-out success when the team arrived for a five-week residency two years ago, and despite tickets to the 8-course event costing $420 per person, it was the hottest restaurant ticket in town with a waitlist of over 2,000 tables at the final service.
Now, L’Enclume is returning with a $590 per person, 14-course menu that will undoubtedly sell out again in record time.
We have an appetite for world-class dining experiences in Australia, and if you missed out the first time, this is your chance to try some of the world’s best dishes. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, and bookings will open at 10 am on Thursday 13th of February 2025 via the Bathers’ Pavilion website or by phone on (02) 9969 5050.

Bathers’ Pavilion is a long way from the cobbled streets of Cartmel, but internationally renowned British chef, restaurateur and farm-to-table pioneer, Simon Rogan, will be showcasing his skills at one of Sydney’s most tranquil, stunning beach locations in Sydney once again.
“Bathers’ Pavilion is the only place outside of Cartmel that has served a L’Enclume menu, and remains the only place,” said Simon Rogan. “This is because of the depth of trust and collaboration we have in our relationship with Jess, Tom and their exceptional team.”
“The 2023 residency was about taking what we do in Cartmel and The Lake District and bringing it to Sydney, reproducing it and supplementing ingredients with Australian produce. Now that we’ve spent time in Sydney the approach is different and our local knowledge expanded. We want to take our L’Enclume expertise and create something entirely new – put it this way, if we had started L’Enclume in Sydney, this is what I would have created,” he continued.

With a backdrop of one of Sydney’s best beaches, indulge in a new 14-course menu ($590 per person) with snacks and petit fours, along with a tailored wine pairing ($230, $350, $590 and $1,200 per person).
You can expect a menu that reflects the L’Enclume ethos that champions seasonal and produce-led cooking using local Australian and seasonal produce. Still, subtle Australian influence reigns supreme.
“During my time in Sydney, I fell in love with Australian produce, it’s honestly some of the very best in the world. It is a privilege to showcase some of those standout products like marron, snow crab and the best beef in the world along with unique ingredients such as quandong and wattle. We now have great relationships with many of the producers and growers and they are fully committed to working with us on specifically grown ingredients to ensure a truly traceable menu.”
Bookings for lunch and dinner Wednesday – Sunday will open at 10 am on Thursday 13th of February 2025 via the Bathers’ Pavilion website or by phone on (02) 9969 5050.
