Claude's (restaurant)
Claude's was a French restaurant in Sydney that operated for 37 years until its closure in 2013. The iconic restaurant, which was opened by Claude Corne, was sold to a couple in 1981 who owned the business for approximately 12 years–Josephine and Damien Pignolet. In 1993, the Pignolet's sold the business to Tim Pak Poy, himself selling it in 2004 to a lawyer turned chef, Lee Luk. Luk was the chef and owner until Claude's closure in 2013.
Claude's became etched in the city's dining history and was deemed part of the formation of "Sydney's golden restaurant age" in an article by The Sydney Morning Herald.
