Chef Recommendations

Hayden Quinn

"So good. A very well priced tasting menu (choose 7 or 10 courses). The food is a mash between Italian and Japanese (definitely not "fusion") and this comes from chef Federico's Italian background and his training in Japan. Well worth the visit and please tell Chef Federico we sent you! P.S. We always get the wine pairings. It is a great mix of amazing Italian, Australian and NZ wines along with some outstanding sake from Japan."

Lennox Hastie

"LuMi Dining is a husband-and-wife restaurant I have been going to for a while. Since 2014, Federico Zanellato and his sommelier wife Michela Boncagni have turned Italian cuisine on its head, infusing their ever-changing degustation menu with a Japanese twist. Federico is, like me, the best kind of crazy; pouring his heart and soul into the restaurant and doing that little bit more each time. He will obsessively work on something until he has mastered it and his attention to detail is amazing."
