Description

Specialties

Ever since Tamas Pamer, Executive Chef, can remember, he has loved nothing more than visiting local food markets with the smell of freshly made bread and the beautiful array of colours from recently picked fruit and vegetables. It is these markets which Tamas visits on a regular basis that provide the inspiration for the market fresh and locally sourced dining experience of Café Opera. Guests can choose to dine on the French inspired a la carte fine dining menu, or sample the unique and interactive buffet which showcases local suppliers and growers.

Situated within the breathtaking Treasury Building of 1851, Café Opera offers a beautiful setting for any dining occasion. Patrons can choose to be seated within the restaurant with its beautifully grand windows with views of the city or dine alfresco in the dining court of InterContinental Sydney’s historic sandstone arcades.

History

Meet the Manager

Tamas P.

Manager

Executive Chef

Tamas Pamer has enjoyed an extensive career in hospitality spanning almost two decades. He has held senior roles working in kitchens across Europe and the US, from four and five-​star hotels and top restaurants including a one-​Michelin-​star venue. Although born in Budapest, Tamas spent the majority of his childhood in Germany where he developed his passion for cooking at an early age. He would often assist his mother in the kitchen cooking for his two brothers and accompany her to the local food market, choosing fresh and colourful produce and later transforming them into a beautiful meal. This hand-​picked produce, market-​to-​table style of cooking has been a key inspiration behind Tamas’s cooking and menu development, and has been a key stimulus for Café Opera. Tamas’s favourite style of cooking is French cuisine combined with fresh local ingredients. Like other members of his 55-​plus culinary team, he enjoys being creative in his cooking.
