Andrew McConnell's Supernormal Canteen Is Up For Sale
The acclaimed chef will focus on his other Melbourne restaurants, including the CBD's Supernormal.
In a week that's already revealed the closure of The Commune Group's short-lived Alter Dining and celebrated fine diner Estelle by Scott Pickett, another Melbourne restaurant has announced its farewell.
The latest news sees Andrew McConnell's St Kilda eatery Supernormal Canteen up for sale, 12 months after the chef transformed the space from its previous incarnation as Luxembourg.
McConnell has had the Fitzroy Street site for seven years, since launching his first solo venture Golden Fields there back in 2011. Now, it's on the market as the owner moves to focus his attentions on the rest of his hefty restaurant stable.
A Supernormal spokesperson confirmed the news, saying, "After seven years in St Kilda, we have decided to consolidate our focus on existing venues and projects." At this stage, no closing date has been set and the venue will kick on as usual, at least until a new buyer snaps up the site.
The restaurant's CBD sibling, Supernormal will continue operating as usual.
Pay Supernormal Canteen a visit while you still can, at 157 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda.
