Three-Michelin-starred Dominique Crenn chooses Melbourne for her next restaurant

The trailblazing French chef will open her first Australian venue in October. Expect cocktails, gougeres and her signature steak tartare.

One of the world’s most decorated chefs is opening a restaurant in Melbourne. From October, Dominique Crenn’s all-day Petit Crenn will serve pastries, coffee and French classics at InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto, in a ground-floor site that until recently housed a Haigh’s Chocolates store.

“I love the city, I love Australian people, I want to be part of the community,” she told Good Food, in an exclusive interview.
