OUR STORY

First opened over 20 years ago by the esteemed Thierry Gallichet from Lyon, Montrachet quickly became a beloved institution, capturing hearts from its original home in Paddington.

Following a celebrated transition under acclaimed chef Shannon Kellam to its current home in Bowen Hills, Montrachet now welcomes a new chapter led by Michelin-trained chef Clément Chauvin. Also the owner of Canberra’s award-winning Les Bistronomes, Clément brings a passion for French cuisine, a flair for innovation, and a deep respect for the legacy he inherits.

With big shoes to fill, Clément embraces the challenge—crafting a seasonal menu that blends classical French techniques with the finest locally sourced ingredients.

Guiding the front of house is Remon Van de Kerkhof, whose impressive pedigree includes time at Australia’s top culinary institutions such as Neil Perry’s Rockpool Bar & Grill and Aria Sydney, as well as two- and three-Michelin-starred restaurants in his native Netherlands. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Remon curates a refined and expansive wine list, ensuring each guest experience is seamless, elegant, and memorable.

At Montrachet, we are devoted to creating an unforgettable culinary journey—where every dish is a masterpiece and every meal, a true celebration of French gastronomy.

À très bientôt,
Clément
