Matt Moran is the executive chef and co-owner of the award-winning ARIA restaurant, which enjoys one of the most enviable reputations and locations in Sydney, overlooking the Sydney Opera House and the harbour. In 2009 he opened a second ARIA restaurant, in Brisbane, in another stunning waterfront location on Eagle Street Pier. In 2012 Matt opened the doors to CHISWICK, in Sydney's leafy Woollahra, which has at its heart a kitchen garden where much of the restaurant's produce is grown. In early 2014 North Bondi Fish opened its doors, with Matt as one of the co-owners. While Matt's main focus remains his restaurants, he shared his passion for Australian produce in his vastly popular TV series Paddock to Plate, and has had numerous guest appearances on shows including MasterChef, Junior MasterChef, The Chopping Block, My Restaurant Rules and Heat in the Kitchen. He is the author of three bestselling cookbooks, also published by Lantern: Matt Moran, When I Get Home and Dinner At Matt's.
