Protégé is an exciting casual fine dining eatery under the guidance of previous Eat Out Chef of the Year, La Colombe’s Scot Kirton.

Scot is proud to be part of the process of recognising young talented chefs and giving them the opportunity to put themselves on the map. In keeping with this, the restaurant was aptly named Protégé.

The idea with Protégé is to keep it casual and comfortable, working with local suppliers to keep the menu as fresh and as seasonal as possible.

The restaurant space has been designed around the central show kitchen with al fresco dining planned at both ends of the restaurant.

Protégé is open for lunch from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm and for dinner from 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm.

    Disappointing and inconsistent food (save for a couple of dishes) and poor chef’s table experience in spite of thin crowd (zero participation from head chef even though we had a question regarding the food). Great service staff. Spend your time and money elsewhere.

    Loved this place! My family and I did the 8 course Chef's menu and it was perfectly curated (not too much and not too little - we particularly enjoyed the surprise at the end). Such good value and service was fantastic (they made a separate meal for my 6 year old daughter - very accommodating!). Highly recommended!

    One of the best fine-dining meals we have ever had. The food was superb: the menu was elegant and the food unpretentious, and perfectly cooked and presented. The lovely staff was the cherry on the top of a delightful experience. I cannot recommend Protégé more highly.
