Coming Soon: Chef Mike McEnearney Is Opening a New Dining Destination in Australia's First-Ever 1 Hotels Site in Melbourne
Supporting the hotel's eco-conscious design with a nature-driven dining venue, From Here by Mike will bring guests closer to their food.
Adding to the rejuvenation of the Northbank Precinct — stretching from Spencer Street to the Charles Grime Bridge — 1 Hotel Melbourne will serve as a headline destination, featuring a meeting of luxury and sustainability. Ahead of its opening on Thursday, June 19, this eco-conscious hotel now has a flagship culinary partnership to match, with Australian chef Mike McEnearney brought on board to present From Here with Mike.
Renowned for his ingredient-first, low-waste approach and Sydney-based eatery Kitchen by Mike, McEnearney offers his signature seasonal, ethical and sustainable cuisine at this latest venue. "From Here by Mike will be a true reflection of what's possible when like-minded people come together with a common purpose. I'm proud to bring this vision to life in a space that truly honours nature, community, and above all, good food," says McEnearney.
Launching for breakfast, lunch and dinner, guests can look forward to simple, thoughtful cuisine informed by Victoria's abundant pantry. Raising up low-impact farming, hyper-local sourcing and minimal intervention through its menu, nourishing dishes are designed to bring diners closer to their food, with direct parallels drawn between each ingredient and how it arrived on the plate.
While the full menu is still to be revealed, think freshly shucked oysters with pickled daikon and finger lime vinaigrette; twice-baked goat's cheese soufflé with rosemary cream; and wood-roasted cockerel with vadouvan sauce. Honest and rooted in nature, each dish is intended for sharing with loved ones, where you can connect over cuisine and experience a joint sense of wellbeing.
From Here by Mike's wine program strikes a similar beat, with 40 percent of the selection centred on Victorian wines created with minimal intervention, using biodynamic, organic and sustainable methods. Meanwhile, the cocktail menu will emphasise sustainability, as the culinary team repurposes diverse ingredients and sources local, seasonal products. Designed to complement the cuisine menu, expect outstanding food and drink pairings.
Years in the making, 1 Hotel Melbourne is almost ready for launch, with its 220 metres of uninterrupted river frontage bringing an attention-grabbing element to North Wharf. Joining the brand's properties in London, Copenhagen, New York City and beyond, guests will discover a sophisticated blend of luxury and sustainability, with top-notch dining and wellness amenities supported by a design brimming with reclaimed materials and eco-driven practices.
From Here by Mike opens Thursday, June 19, at 1 Hotel Melbourne, 9 Maritime Place, Docklands. Head to the website for more information.
