Opening early 2014 by two homesick Aussies, Flinders Lane offers a slice of Melbourne inNYC where the food of British settlers has mixed with that of Greek and Italian immigrants and the cuisines of nearby Southeast Asia. Add to that the wide array of fresh seafood available on this island continent and a climate that yields all kinds of fruits and vegetables, all year long. And then there's the Australian attitude: No fussing, no over thinking, just bold, streamlined food made with the best ingredients available and a laser focus on flavor. Down Under, they have a name for this unlikely culinary equation: They call it Modern Australian cooking.”
Created by Chris Rendell & Chris McPherson, Flinders Lane is neighborhood restaurant offering a modern Australian menu based on fresh market driven and seasonal ingredients, with a beverage program of equally seasonal cocktails, craft beers and a selection of ready to drink new and old world producers, roasters, and suppliers.
Flinders Lane is inspired by the laneways of Melbourne, Australia - gritty urban enclaves where mainstream culture takes a back seat to allow for vibrant street art, unique galleries, edgy fashion, tiny cafes and hidden bars and fantastic foods. Our goal is to bring this slice of Melbourne to New York City And create a space for guests to enjoy the best of Australian inspired food, drink, and service.
