Matt Moran, of Circular Quay’s acclaimed ARIA restaurant, met his business partner Peter Sullivan while the pair was working at Sydney ’s La Belle Helene. They went on to run the Paddington Inn Bistro and Moran’s before launching ARIA in 1999. Located in the infamous ‘toaster’ building beside the Opera House, ARIA achieved instant renown – in its first year of operation it was given Two Hats in the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide. The restaurant currently runs the popular ‘arias at ARIA’ program in conjunction with Opera Australia , and offers intimate gourmet chef tours conducted by Moran himself.
