James FiskeSeaduction Restaurant + Bar, located at Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise, has appointed celebrated chef James Fiske, formerly of Michelin starred establishments across the UK and Europe and the Gold Coast’s Vanitas at Palazzo Versace, as Executive Chef. James, who brings more than 20 years of experience to the role, said achieving Executive Chef at the premier, hatted Seaduction Restaurant + Bar is a career highlight and one which has enabled him to create a bespoke menu that celebrates his international culinary practices.

Highlights from the current ‘Earth, Water, Foliage and Vines’ dinner menu include a heirloom beetroot salad with goats curd, orange and nasturtium (entrée), King George whiting with scallop, crab, cucumber and sea herbs (main) and Valrhona chocolate, matcha tea and salted caramel (dessert).
