Corporate events just got tastier at Sydney’s Accor Stadium

Chef and restaurateur Matt Moran, who owns some of Sydney’s best-known dining venues, has joined the city’s Accor Stadium as culinary ambassador.

Moran, who will also be working in the same capacity at the Optus Stadium in Perth/Boorloo in Western Australia, is bringing his food philosophy to the venues, emphasising quality alongside fresh and seasonal produce. Moran and his team are delivering food and beverage experiences for match-day corporate events and non-event day functions and events at Accor Stadium.

The venue has 16 function rooms and can accommodate guests in private suites, lounges and boxes from 8-20 guests, with larger events hosting up to 8,000 people.

At Optus Stadium, Moran’s menus are initially available in premium spaces, and will later be expanded to private suites and other functions including gala dinners, conferences and events. Optus Stadium accommodates events for up to 2,000 guests, with more than 20 function spaces and 101 private suites suitable for events of all sizes.

Commenting on his appointment, Moran said: “I’m looking forward to sharing my food philosophy with the chefs who cater for such large numbers of guests at every event. At the heart of everything I do is a passion for quality produce that is fresh and seasonal, and I’m excited by the challenge of bringing my food philosophy to life at this fantastic venue, which hosts our favourite footy teams, major concerts and so many business, community and cultural events off the playing fields.”

Moran has won a number of awards and written several cookbooks and owns restaurants including Aria Sydney, Chiswick, Chophouse, Barangaroo House, North Bondi Fish, Opera Bar, River Bar & Kitchen in Brisbane, Crafted by Matt Moran, Opera Kitchen and The Rockley Pub.
