Dany Chouet
After moving from Paris to Australia in the 1970s, Dany opened Upstairs, the first authentic French bistro in Sydney. She went on to become a pioneer of French cuisine in Australia, creating the hugely successful Au Chabrol, Glenella and the renowned Cleopatra, a restaurant and guesthouse in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. After a highly successful seventeen-year reign at Cleopatra, Dany then returned to rural France, the gastronomic centre of Europe, to continue her lifelong love affair with sensational cooking.
