After three years of envelope-pushing dishes and rule-breaking dinner degustations, Carlton's small-but-mighty Nora has completed its last-ever service.
Owners Sarin Rojanametin and Jean Thamthanakorn have announced they'd shut the doors to their Elgin Street eatery in December, and have drawn the curtains on one of Melbourne's most innovative food offerings of recent years. Nora first opened its doors as an experimental, Thai-inspired cafe back in 2014, hitting reset in 2016 to reopen as degustation restaurant, giving the owners more scope to flex their creative muscles.
But there's one last chance to eat Nora's food. In a last hurrah, Rojanametin and Thamthanakorn will cook a final meal at Collingwood's The Moon on Sunday, January 7. The $95 ticket includes a taste of Nora's full menu, plus an aperitif and digestif. Wines will be available to purchase.
2018 will find the pair venturing back to their roots, tapping into new inspirations and setting their sights on fresh challenges. We hope to see a new venture from them in the near future.
