We don’t take ourselves too seriously... but an empty stomach is no laughing matter. As a proud food provider of the 2019 MICF at The Coopers Malthouse, we are serving up a delicious range of treats throughout the festival. Inspired by Ned himself, we exist to create beautiful, honest European food – that is distinctive for its lack of fuss or frills – yet reminds us all to savour the moment.

Visit us in our home in South Yarra for the full Ned’s experience.
