Fifteen Melbourne - Melbourne
The first Fifteen restaurant in the Southern Hemisphere opened in Melbourne in September 2006 and immediately was the hottest dining ticket in town. The Naked Chef Jamie Oliver swept into town to launch Fifteen Melbourne, the fourth restaurant he has established to help underprivileged kids.
The menu takes advantage of Victoria's excellent produce, with simple Italian-inspired dishes that allow the ingredients to shine. Fifteen Melbourne offers a six-course degustation menu and boasts 550 wines on an impressive wine list.
The restaurant fit-out reflects the international Fifteen branding, incorporating signature pink hues and graffiti motifs and blending old and new furnishings. A key feature is a 'theatre' kitchen that allows diners to watch the young chefs in action.
Melbourne-born chef Tobie Puttock, who worked with Oliver in London, heads the restaurant, lending his larrikin Aussie wit and impressive culinary skills to this vibrant establishment.
