Edna's Table

'Edna's Table' restaurant, located in the heart of the city of Sydney has long been at the forefront of modern Australian cuisine. Since Jennice and Raymond Kersh opened the original Edna's Table in 1983, it has become a mecca for journalists, judges, entertainers, politicians, radio people and visitors from around the world, and its name has become synonymous with innovative food using the flavours of Australia.
