After [[World War II]], subsequent waves of [[multicultural]] immigration, with a majority drawn from Asia and the Mediterranean region, and the strong, sophisticated food cultures these ethnic communities have brought with them influenced the development of Australian cuisine.  This blending of "European techniques and Asian flavours" came to be known as Modern Australian cuisine.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.sbs.com.au/food/article/what-is-modern-australian-cuisine/z3msho85k | title=What is modern Australian cuisine? }}</ref>

Arguably the first Modern Australian restaurant was Sydney's [[Bayswater Brasserie]] (est. 1982), which offered Mediterranean dishes with Asian and Middle Eastern influences and "showed Sydney [...] that food can be adventurous without being expensive".<ref name="smh"/>  The term itself was first used in print in the 1993 edition of the [[Sydney Morning Herald]] ''Good Food Guide'',<ref name="smh">{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/06/25/1023864572930.html |title=Twenty defining moments that shaped Sydney's way of eating |website=Smh.com.au |date=2002-06-26 |accessdate=2017-11-30}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sbs.com.au/food/article/2008/07/01/about-modern-australian-food |title=About Modern Australian food|website=Sbs.com.au |date= July 2008|accessdate=2017-11-30}}</ref> which placed 34 restaurants under this heading, and was quickly adopted to describe the burgeoning food scene in Sydney in the 1990s.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hughes |first=Holly |url=http://www.frommers.com/trip-ideas/food-and-drink/7-places-to-eat-sydneys-mod-oz-cuisine |title=7 Places to Eat: Sydney's Mod Oz Cuisine |website=Frommers.com |date= |accessdate=2017-11-30}}</ref>  Leading exponents of the style include [[Tetsuya Wakuda]], [[Neil Perry]] and [[Peter Gilmore (chef)|Peter Gilmore]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/12/01/1070127334401.html |title=Simply Sydney |website=Theage.com.au |date=2003-12-02 |accessdate=2017-11-30}}</ref>

As of 2014, the term is considered somewhat dated, with many restaurants preferring to call their style "contemporary Australian cuisine" instead.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/the-new-bentley-restaurant-is-a-stunning-journey-of-modern-australian-tastes-and-flavours-writes-elizabeth-meryment/news-story/07698804b9279e2b894aa0516aa0e829|title=Bentley a shining star of new Mod Oz|website=Dailytelegraph.com.au|accessdate=30 November 2017}}</ref>
