CHEF ALEX FEE

Alex brings more than 20 years experience to the kitchen. Starting as an apprentice at the Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove, he graduated to fine dining at The Fireplace before further honing his craft in the UK and Europe at Michelin Star restaurants.


Alex is a passionate believer in locally sourced produce and growing his own herbs and other ingredients on site in the Pethers grounds. "It's all about freshness, balancing flavours, textures and aromas, and delivering a memorable culinary experience that reflects the superb, natural setting." 


Once he's finished service, if time permits, Alex loves to discuss the dishes, explaining the philosophy underlying his menu and seeking feedback from guests. It brings a totally new dimension to the meal. If you're interested, please ask the team to check whether he is available.

    "A truly remarkable five-course degustation dinner. Every course was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and thoroughly enjoyable. The ambience is something special, with the rainforest backdrop, waterfall fairy lights and open fireplace in the centre of the restaurant creating a beautiful and intimate setting."

  • Linda - ★★★★★

    "The restaurant itself is beautiful, with high ceilings and windows all the way up, nestled in the rainforest. The food really stood out by the surprising combination of local flavours with delightful nods to East Asia. I had the namelaka for dessert - I think this might be the best dessert I've ever had."

  • Simon - ★★★★★

    “We had our 20th wedding anniversary dinner at Pethers. It was exceptional in every respect. The waitresses were attentive, warm and friendly and had excellent knowledge of each dish. The chef delivered an amazing variety of cuisine and he must be commended for his hard work and dedication to deliver each dish as a master piece. If I wasn't already married, I would definitely get married and have my reception at Pethers. We'll be back and thank you for making our special day so very special.”

  • Jodie - ★★★★★

    "I'm dairy intolerant and the chef kindly adjusted the entrée and main so I could safely enjoy them. He also made me a special coconut panna cotta that was divine. We were very impressed to learn the chef does it all alone in the kitchen. That's real talent, and the food was delicious, fresh, and presented beautifully."

  • Suzy - ★★★★★

    "We've never been blown away by a dining experience as we were at Pethers. Chef Alex hand crafted two tasting menus for the intimate dining experience — one being vegetarian. Five tasting plates, excellently thought out, with mouth-watering flavours which complement each other, and presentation like works of art."

  • Judy - ★★★★★

    "We are interstate visitors and have now dined at Pethers three times. Every visit has been a fantastic experience. The food is consistently excellent, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The service is warm, professional, and attentive without being intrusive."
