C Restaurant is a revolving restaurant located at Level 33 of St Martins Tower in Perth, Western Australia. It is the only revolving restaurant in Perth, [1] completing a full 360 degree rotation in 90 minutes [2] and has been described by The Sunday Telegraph of London as offering "views of the Swan River, the flat expanse of the suburbs and the dry hills 25 miles [40 kilometres] beyond". [3]
C Restaurant is the second restaurant to be located at the top of St Martins Tower. The first, Hilite 33, was opened in 1978. [4] Its staff included a young Shane Osborn, [5] who was later the head chef at Pied à Terre in London. [6] In 2000, Hilite 33's co-founder and then owner, Alain Kuhl, sold the business. [2] The other co-founder of Hilite 33 was Jean-Daniel Ichallalene.
The new owner, Phil Clements, [7] renamed the business, and relaunched it on Australia Day, 26 January 2001. [8] Although Clements later claimed that C Restaurant offered "fun dining rather than fine dining", he also aimed to establish a national reputation. [9] He revamped the menu, instituting a two course minimum order to deter casually dressed sightseers from ordering a coffee and lingering to admire the view. Within less than 12 months, C Restaurant had become "all the rage", [7] and had won the Gold Plate award for fine and occasional dining. [9] Soon afterwards, it was the place where, on 23 March 2002, England cricketer Ben Hollioake attended a dinner with his family before dying in a car accident on the way home. [3]
In August 2006, Clements sold the business to restaurant manager Olivier Letrone, entrepreneur Franck Duroleck and waiter Jermone Guesdon.[ citation needed]
When he was starting out, Nick was asked to provide ice-cream for the 1978 opening of the old Hilite 33 revolving restaurant, at the top of St Martin's Tower, one of Perth's tallest skyscrapers.
