‘Beef Wellington sounds like such a traditional and boring dish, however it’s one of my favourite things to eat as it is so complex and takes so much skill to cook the meat; the pastry has to be perfect and the flavours have to be balanced,’ Ms Lim wrote.

‘At Nel’s, chef Nelly Robinson and his team serve their version with a slow-cooked beef cheek, spelt pastry, beautiful carrot purée, beef and peppercorn sauce.

‘It was a dish that transported me and my friends to London immediately.’

The incredible recognition puts Sydney on the map among international restaurants as no other Australian city is included on the list of 16 dishes and cocktails.
