Sage Gastronomy Master Series at NGV

An immersive dining experience at NGV International

Restaurant Associates is proud to partner with Sage Gastronomy for Master Series: Edition 01, a three-night celebration of food, art and cultural exchange at Garden Restaurant, NGV International.

Taking place from 22 to 24 August 2026, the event brings together three award-winning Chinese chefs and Japanese artist Hikaru Matsubara for an experience designed to extend well beyond the plate.

Where gastronomy, art and culture meet

Sage Gastronomy: Master Series brings internationally acclaimed culinary and creative talent together with premium Australian produce.

For Edition 01, guests will experience a collaborative menu created by:
  • Chef Eddy Leung, President of the Hong Kong Chefs Association
  • Chef Rain Qu, 2025 Chef of China Champion
  • Chef Leslie Chan, award-winning Australian chef and former member of the Australian National Culinary Team

Their distinct culinary perspectives will be brought into conversation with the contemporary visual language of Japanese artist Hikaru Matsubara, creating an immersive experience across food, art and storytelling.

Premium Australian produce takes centre stage throughout the menu, with highlights including Australian scallops, M8+ Wagyu, native finger lime and abalone laksa with lobster bisque. The experience concludes with Botanical Secrets, a sculptural dessert inspired by the NGV Garden.
