After working at the Michelin-starred French restaurant Atelier Crenn in San Fransico under celebrated chef Dominique Crenn, Josh Mason has set up his own restaurant in Baulkham Hills.

Quoi Dining opened last year in Century Circuit and is a must visit with sophisticated food and an extensive yet cleverly selected list of wines.

Josh is only in his early twenties but already has an impressive resume and a serious list of accolades to his name, including sponsorship from Renault Australia and Victorinox.

The young chef was born into hospitality, with his parents owning restaurants around the state.

“I was the baby who slept under the counter,” he said.

The boutique restaurant, which received an Australian Good Food Guide hat this year, seats about 50 people in a sleek, modern dining room where the open kitchen is the star.

Diners can watch Josh and his team plate up beautiful, delicate dishes with intense focus and attention-to-detail – a mesmerising process – before the same plates travel barely two metres to their table.

Try the 10-course tasting menu for $120 (or $190 with matching wines) to truly experience the brilliance of this young mastermind.
