Tomasetti House
Features
Justin Hemmes’s Sydney-based hospitality group Merivale is adding to its Melbourne portfolio with Tomasetti House. Merivale purchased the seven-level brick and bluestone building House, at 277 Flinders Lane in the CBD back in early 2021.
The group has remained typically secretive about the exact details of the venture, which is rumoured to include a Chinese restaurant led by Mr Wong chef (and Merivale favourite) Jowett Yu.
“Melbourne is a very special city, with a unique energy and an inimitable soul,” Hemmes said in a 2021 statement upon purchased the Flinders Lane building. “Its local hospitality industry is one of the best in the world, brimming with creative culinary talent and supported by a passionate community of diners. We are honoured to open our first venue in Melbourne and cannot wait to work alongside so many local industry greats.”
Merivale also opened Totti’s Lorne, a regional Victorian outpost of the Sydney hotspot, in 2023. Beyond Victoria, the group operates more than 80 venues and brands across Sydney, including respected restaurants Mr Wong, Totti’s, Mimi’s and Fred’s, as well as a number of bars such as Coogee Pavilion and Ivy in the CBD.
Tomasetti House is due to open in 2024 at 277 Flinders Lane, Melbourne.
