Chef and restaurateur Neil Perry is embarking on a new collaboration, but this time, it’s not in the kitchen—it’s in the world of skincare. The renowned culinary figure, who has enjoyed a series of successful partnerships throughout his career, has joined forces with luxury skincare brand La Mer to host a unique, retro-inspired ice cream parlour, the La Mer Crèmery.
The one-weekend-only event will take place at Guilfoyle Park in Double Bay, Sydney, from Friday, April 4 to Saturday, April 5. Visitors will not only be able to sample La Mer’s iconic Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream but also indulge in a specially crafted ice cream designed by Perry himself.
For Perry, who has long been a fan of the La Mer brand, this collaboration is personal. “For over 20 years, Crème de la Mer has been an essential part of my daily routine, restoring and rejuvenating my skin after long days in the restaurants,” Perry says. “When the team invited me to craft an ice cream for the exclusive La Mer Crèmery, I knew exactly what I wanted to create.”
Drawing inspiration from the rich formula of Crème de la Mer, particularly its signature fermentation process and ‘Miracle Broth’ cell-renewing elixir, Perry has crafted a luxurious buttermilk ice cream that is both smooth and indulgent. Guests will also have the chance to enhance their ice cream with garnishes such as kelp and sesame—key ingredients in the moisturizer’s formulation.
In addition to the pop-up event, the La Mer ice cream, along with its signature garnishes, will be featured on the lunch and dinner menus at Perry’s restaurants, Margaret and Song Bird, from April 9 to April 15.
The La Mer Crèmery will be open on Friday, April 4 from 12 pm to 7 pm and Saturday, April 5 from 10 am to 5 pm at 1A Guilfoyle Avenue, Double Bay.
