Michael is now Sous Chef at the highly regarded Restaurant Lûmé in Melbourne, which is currently ranked 4th in Australia by Gault et Millau restaurant guide.

Scott said: ‘We’re excited to have Michael and Jodie joining us for this very special event. We like to give our guests new experiences and this evening is going to be a chance for our diners to try something completely new with an amazing fusion of Scottish and Australian ingredients.’
Michael added: ‘I can’t wait to work with Scott again having started our career together in Scotland. It’s going to be a fantastic chance to share some native Australian ingredients with restaurant Fhior and diners in Edinburgh.’
The word, Fhior is derived from the Gaelic for ‘true’. This represents exactly what the restaurant offers – an ultra-seasonal and consistently innovative dining experience that showcases the essence of Scotland.
