I turn fresh produce and instinctive flavor into an unforgettable dining experience.

I fell in love with cooking young, learning at home in my mum’s kitchen, and I started my career at 16. Since then, I’ve trained across Modern Australian, French, and Southeast Asian cuisine, including time in hatted restaurants.

I’ve led kitchens along Australia’s east coast and in France, and I love building a dining atmosphere that feels exciting, relaxed, and elevated—where great food and presentation come together naturally.

I’m just hella comfortable.

What you get when you dine with me

I cook by instinct

Cooking is like breathing for me—it comes naturally, and I build flavors instinctively so every dish feels effortless, balanced, and full of energy.

I learned in high-volume, high-standard kitchens

I learned to cook at O bar and dining on Sydney Harbour, a 140-seater that moved between casual and fine dining—an experience that trained me to deliver quality, pace, and consistency.

I keep it confident and relaxed

My secret in the kitchen is simple: I’m genuinely comfortable, and that calm confidence lets me focus on the details while keeping the experience fun and memorable.

Elliott Dunn’s Menus

I offer tasting experiences, BBQ sharing feasts, French classics reworked with Australian produce, and canapé-style menus—always focused on fresh flavors, great catches, and a polished presentation.

Elliot's food was delicious and respected the house wonderfully! He unfortunately had some car issues which may have flustered him a little, as the focaccia was undercooked. Everything else was 10/10 though!

We thoroughly enjoyed our at-home chef experience for my fiancée's birthday. Elliot was warm and personable, and every meal was absolutely delicious. The crab was excellent, and the rump steak was amazing! It was such a special experience, and we would love to book Elliot again in the future. Thank you so much!

What an amazing experience for my husbands birthday dinner! Chef Elliott provided a very professional, delicious and easy going fine dining service - with incredible produce, a varied menu to select from and generous portions, all prepared expertly in our home kitchen. He offered a wealth of knowledge around the food he was preparing, with consciously chosen produce local to his home (northern rivers). He quickly made himself comfortable in my kitchen, allowing my husband and I to completely relax and enjoy the experience. I would highly recommend Chef Elliott - whether an intimate dinner for 2 or catering to many, he truly brought the fine dining restaurant to us with ease. Thank you!

Elliott blew us away. The food was absolutely incredible, every dish was so delicious and thoughtful. Our favourites were the bugs in the most incredible jalapeno sauce and the scallops and chorizo! Would absolutely recommend for any and all events.

What a fabulous experience. We celebrated a birthday lunch with 8 friends gathering at the Gold Coast. Our chef Elliot was fantastic, creating 5 courses for us, nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately our holiday apartment was not we'll equipped with crockery, this was no issue for Elliot, he said I can work with/around anything & he did an excellent job. We all loved the food & meeting Elliot, he was very nice, polite & left the kitchen how he found it. I would definitely recommend to anyone hosting it was such a great experience to have a chef & fabulous food for our lunch

Elliot was a legend. We had the bbq menu and every bite was delicious. Generous portions, and presented well. Elliot was friendly, made his way around the house seamlessly and cleaned up well. Would highly recommend him and his bbq menu, and hopefully we get to experience it again ourselves.

Elliott was fantastic! I loved that he custom tailored a few things to match my partner’s favorites (it was his birthday). He was about 10-15 minutes early which was great. Awesome communication before the night. Elliott is more on the reserved side, you can tell he loves putting all his love into his food and is super passionate about what he does. Overall. The food was really delicious, I wasn’t sure what to expect as it was my first time using a service like this, but it was fantastic and we’ll definitely get Elliott in the future!
