Luxury Dining Experience Gibney Opens in Cottesloe
Perth‘s renowned hospitality figure, George Kailis, has unveiled a new addition to his culinary empire with the grand opening of Gibney, a high-end seaside brasserie in the picturesque locale of Cottesloe. The establishment, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Indian Ocean, promises a fusion of opulent luxury and modern gastronomy, positioning itself as a must-visit dining destination in Western Australia.
As bookings for Gibney soar, Kailis envisions the restaurant to become an iconic part of the WA tourism circuit, alongside landmarks like Rottnest Island, Kings Park, Margaret River, and Cottesloe Beach, catering to both local connoisseurs and visitors seeking special dining experiences.
While the establishment boasts a hefty price tag, offering wine selections such as the $12,000 2020 Romanee-Saint-Vivant red burgundy, there are also more budget-friendly options with wines by the glass under $20, including a vast array of champagnes curated by sommelier Nina Throsby from France.
Despite launching Gibney amidst a cost-of-living crisis, Kailis remains confident that the elite audience from Perth’s affluent suburbs and international tourists will see the value in the lavish experience offered. With a meticulously designed space featuring premium finishes, Gibney sets itself apart as a luxury investment for patrons.
With a team of skilled artisans, sommeliers, and wait staff, Gibney positions itself as the epitome of fine dining excellence in WA, drawing parallels to esteemed brasseries in cities like Paris, London, and New York, while showcasing the unique beauty of its oceanfront location in Cottesloe.
As Gibney’s doors open to the public, Kailis anticipates a surge in demand, with bookings already stretching into 2025. The meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant’s design and concept reflects Kailis’ aspiration for patrons to recognize and appreciate the distinct touch of the Kailis Hospitality Group across all their ventures.
