Head Sommelier

With many ingredients grown outside the window in perhaps the suburb's only kitchen garden, our menu is alive to the seasons, always ripe with elegant simplicity and perfect for sharing. A local favourite, Chiswick is Matt Moran's philosophy of honest produce, artful cooking and warm atmosphere brought to life.

Matt Moran works closely with Head Chef, Samuel Rozsnyoi to develop the seasonal menus based on what's growing the garden. An avid supporter of inspirational local and regional producers, he believes the unique stories of growers and farmers makes eating so much more special.

Our wine team has curated a thoughtful selection of sustainable, elegant drops from some of the country's finest producers. Each wine is clean, creative, and celebrates the purity of the fruit — free from intervention, just as we approach everything we plate and pour at Chiswick. A consistent recipient of three wine goblets, our list reflects both craftsmanship and care year on year.
