“The food at Embrasse is rustic but conceptual. It can sometimes cross the line into plain intellectual, but generally it’s a kind of genial meeting of high and low art, between peasant and posh. It’s fine dining that’s clean and fresh, often devastatingly pretty, and dare I say, healthy.”  Larissa Dubecki EPICURE



Now as head Chef of the award winning Embrasse restaurant, one of Melbourne’s best, Nicolas is inviting one lucky AGFG member to win a day of personal attention and tuition, learning cutting edge fine dining techniques and conceptualising artistic fare.
