September continues to evolve into a big month for foodies, with the Melrose team tabbing Wednesday September 18 as the opening date for its new Bulimba restaurant, MEDÉ Modern Mediterranean. Taking over the site previously home to King Crab Co on Oxford Street, MEDÉ will treat diners to a broad menu encompassing traditional and contemporary trends. Head chef Sam Richards (formerly of Cloudland and Manly Boathouse) will be utilising local produce – think grass-fed meats and line-caught fish – across the board, with a globe-trotting wine list and a clutch of classic cocktails also on offer. Brooke Harlander from Retail Collective Co and Tonic Projects have been engaged to give the corner site a bright and clean makeover, with premium touches like marble tabletops and olive-green furnishings designed to evoke the feeling of a lavish Mediterranean holiday.
