Brae

When Dan Hunter (ex-Royal Mail Hotel, Mugaritz) wanted to realise his vision of a place that would be an authentic reflection of his values, ambition and personality as a chef, he approached us to help him bring it to life.

Seasonality is very much the guiding principle of the dining experience at Brae, with ingredients sourced solely from local producers and from the restaurant’s on-site kitchen garden. To communicate Dan’s philosophy we wanted to strike a balance between the two sides of his of his professional identity: his status as a highly technical and skilled Michelin-starred contemporary chef, versus his reverence for the seasons, connectedness to nature and uniquely Australian pragmatism.
