Meet our Executive Chef & the Ethereal team
“Ethereal as a name holds incredible sentimentality to us as we work to honour the standards and reputation of the namesake thoroughbred who won the prestigious Melbourne Cup, the trophy takes pride of place in our restaurant.
As a chef, I believe in the power of local, seasonal ingredients and the inspiration of creating authentic flavors. We celebrate moments with aged meats and a heartfelt partnership with homegrown produce.”
