Three Plates | World-class destination dining worthy of a flight.
We're thrilled to share that Chefs Warehouse at Beau Constantia has been awarded Three Plates at the 2026 JHP Gourmet Guide Awards!
It's wonderful to see the team's passion for bold flavours, interesting combinations and food that is full of personality recognised in this way.
This year's Gourmet Guide also gives a lovely insight into the kitchen, where the different backgrounds, experiences and ideas of the chefs all play a part in what ends up on the plate.
A very proud moment for Executive Chef and co-owner Ivor Jones, co-owner Liam Tomlin and the whole team, who put so much thought, energy and heart into what they do every day.
A big thank you to Jenny Handley and the Gourmet Guide team for this recognition. We're in excellent company!

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE TART | Caitlin’s nostalgic nod to her Dad and their favourite foods is a new showstopper dessert we call A Bit of Me A Bit of You. It’s a treacle-like baked tart with a vanilla sablé base topped with layers of Jerusalem artichoke and coconut brown sugar custard, alongside a 64% Valrhona dark chocolate cremosa, caramel sugar tuile filled with Bailey’s Irish cream with tonka shavings, Irish coffee jellies, hazelnut praline, malt and olive oil crumb and chocolate-dipped soba noodles.

SHRIMP CRISPS | Look closely and you’ll see tiny shrimp embedded in these crisps, made with a limestone water-based batter. You’ll find them crushed over a Central Thai salad of linefish, prawn and citrus.

DON’T OVERTHINK IT | We think a lot about what we’re doing, but also go with a hard lean into our gut and creative instincts. From a drawing practice to a dish, the best results are the ones that are not overthought.

BEEF TARTARE | A personal favourite of Ivor’s, it’s been on the menu since the first days of Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia 10 years ago. Over time, the dish has evolved but it’s always constructed around eating with your hands. Whether you’re scooping it up with a lettuce cup, a bit of brioche or a garlic butter bun, tartare is about digging in.

LIMESTONE WATER | A new discovery of a centuries-old technique.
Limestone water or limewater – the scientific term is calcium hydroxide solution -- is made from roasted clam shells that are pounded in a mortar and pestle, then soaked in water for 24 hours. Why clam shells? Because they are chemically identical to limestone. In the culinary world, limestone water firms fruits and vegetables, and also adds extra crunch to deep-fried foods.

A LITTLE BIT OF ME AND YOU | That’s the name of this Jerusalem Artichoke Tart created by our pastry chef Caitlin. It’s a dessert that incorporates elements and flavours loved by Caitlin and her dad: dark chocolate, a pecan pie-like crust, Irish coffee, hazelnut praline and malt.

10 YEARS OF TUNA | This year Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia turns 10! Tuna has been an ingredient we've gravitated towards since the beginning. It's 1) amazing, 2) a blank slate for flavour and technique: from Southeast Asian ingredients to the light char of the grill; and 3) its softness is the perfect match for crunch. The possibilities are endless.

IT TAKES AN ARMY | Our dishes are multi-layered and complex with many moving parts. Some of their components are pickled, fermented or preserved, processes which can take weeks and even months. So much goes into creating a dining experience that is enjoyable and meaningful. Every single member of our kitchen team contributes in multiple ways to making this happen.
