Yiaga
Features
Hugh Allen, executive chef of Hot-Listed fine diner Vue de Monde on the 55th floor of the Rialto Towers, has taken over the derlict Fiztroy Gradens pavillion with plans for an ambitious new 38-seat diner, Yiaga.
He’s working with architect John Wardle to build a restaurant out of materials that are almost all Victorian. Diners will enter through a doorway made from handmade, hand-pressed, hand-sanded Victorian bricks laid vertically to resemble bark on an old, split elm tree.
A team of 12 chefs (compared to the 28 he oversees across Vue de Monde and adjoining Lui Bar) will work out of an open kitchen, and glass panels will form the dining room’s walls.
For now, Allen has no plans of stepping away from Vue de Monde and insists the day-to-day restaurant operations will stay the same.
Yiaga will open in the Fitzroy Gardens this spring.
