Here comes Zumbo

Sydney-based celebrity pastry chef Adriano Zumbo hopes to open his first Melbourne incursion in South Yarra's Claremont Street by late August. Daniel Texter, formerly of Vue de Monde and Noma in Copenhagen, will head up the Melbourne kitchen. Zumbo and Texter are already devising recipes for their Melbourne menu. "We're expecting to get hit pretty hard when we open [in Melbourne] so we're trying to get as well prepared as we can," Zumbo says. Zumbo's Melbourne bakery will be at 12-14 Claremont Street, South Yarra.
