Fat Duck restaurant to call Melbourne home

Fat Duck restaurant to call Melbourne home
By admin


English celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal has chosen Melbourne as the temporary home of his world-renowned Fat Duck restaurant, a decision lauded by Tourism Australia as a great culinary coup.

Tourism Australia’s managing director John O’Sullivan said that Heston’s presence down under would help to further cement Australia’s reputation in culinary circles around the world.

"Heston and his Fat Duck restaurant represent a tantalising culinary combo, so the news that both will be making Australia their second home early next year speaks volumes for Australia’s reputation as a world class food and wine destination.” he said.

Melbourne will also be the site of a permanent restaurant of Heston’s at a later date.
