“Geoff Lindsay is a walking, talking barometer of the state of Melbourne dining. Through his years at local legends, Stephanie’s, Blake’s and Stella, he has cooked his way through French, Mediterranean, and modern South East Asian.Where he has been, Australian food has been.
Where he is going, Australian food is going.”
Terry Durack, Independent on Sunday
“When The Age Good Food Guide judging panel for Chef of the Year started thinking about chefs and the food and flavours that wowed us time and time again, it was hard to go past Geoff Lindsay. Lindsay knocks your socks off at Pearl with his proudly modern Australian food and a menu that is always evolving.”
Sally Lewis, Editor The Age Good Food Guide.
"From the kitchens of Stephanie’s to Stella and, in the past 10 years, Pearl, Geoff Lindsay is a chef with not only a pedigree but a firm place in the pantheon of Melbourne food.”
John Lethlean, The Australian
“The red duck curry, with coconut rice was an outstanding representation of the flavours of Thailand. No question, it was the best version by a non-Asian I have tasted in a restaurant. Perhaps it was as good or better than any Asian version I’ve tried. The duck, legs and breast, was perfectly cooked. The flavours of the sauce were all they should be.”
Geoff Slattery, Melbourne Weekly.
