After growing up in the world of hospitality in a family that owned a restaurant in Germany, Giulia Treuner (Giuls and Harry’s by Giuls) decided a career in food was not for her, but after needing to find a job in Australia it re-shaped her thinking. Landing in a restaurant group that reminded her of home and gave her a sense of family she rose the ranks and embraced a life in food.

Michelle Powell (Mishy’s) never envisaged having her own restaurant but after the success of her jar sauces and condiments created during Covid she needed to find her own commercial kitchen space. Landing on a site in a back street of Sydney’s Surry Hills, the opportunity to do something special for the local community soon revealed itself. Now, after a lot of hard toil she’s created a restaurant that champions best in class seasonal produce and feeds the need of the local community too.
