Former Urbane and The Euro Head Chef, Andrew Gunn, is bringing his vast international experience to the Calile Hotel’s Lobby Bar, with a new menu taking inspirations from Japan to Spain, France and Columbia.
Gunn has revamped The Lobby Bar’s menus, which now consists of a hearty breakfast menu, a considered array of fresh light-lunch options and an evening tapas menu. This new seasonal menu will be paired with Lobby Bar’s updated cocktail menu, wine list and local award-winning signature coffee.
Chef Andrew Gunn
Hailing from Brisbane, Gunn began his career locally at Isis Brasserie, then in Sydney at Bécasse under Justin North before relocating to France. He worked in Paris for six years within a number of Michelin-starred restaurants including Les Ambassadeurs at Hôtel de Crillon, Le Taillevent with Michelin-starred Alain Solivérès, and Le Cinq at Hotel George V with Michelin-starred Christian Le Squer. Upon Gunn’s return to Brisbane, he assumed the role of Executive Chef at acclaimed restaurants The Euro and Urbane working alongside Head Chef and now wife, Amélie Gunn.
“I’ve spent a long time in Europe training in 1 to 3 Michelin starred restaurants and learning about food all around the world and have come back to Brisbane wanting to share that unique knowledge and experience with locals and visitors alike!,” Chef Andrew Gunn says. “Our cuisine focuses on locally sourced Queensland produce that speaks for itself on the plate. I believe cooking the food you love is what makes you the best version of yourself and that’s what we’ve done here at Lobby Bar.”
Lobby Bar is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week.
