TWO restaurateur brothers are taking the leap from casual bistro into the world of fine dining, with Asian-inspired Madame Wu set to open early June at Riparian Plaza.
Adrian and Nick Rosato, directors of RawGROUP, have 20 years experience in hospitality as the owners of the Beach House Bar and Grill franchise and other offerings.
“Madame Wu was really born out of the site – with the location, the competitors and the demographic.
“Beach House is a casual dining and bar offer, there is one in the city but most of them are located in the suburbs or along the coast.
The 200 seat venue spans just under 500sqm comprising a dedicated cocktail station and two private dining areas.
Rosato says it was a top priority to utilise the space properly, to make an impact and have “wow” factor.
“The design process is crucial. This is what we consider a premium site so we have to do a premium fit out - I think the market will love it.
“The key thing I would say to anyone who is a first-timer is you’ve got to understand the numbers, where your income is going to come from and where your costs are going to go.
Executive chef Brendon Barker has designed the menu, previously working at two-hat restaurant Ezard in Melbourne and most recently Embassy XO on the Sunshine Coast.
