Miznon Melbourne

Miznon Australia is the kind of place where you can translate all of what you see around – the mood, the atmosphere, the energy, the people – into food. It is a rhythmic celebration of handcrafted and natural ingredients. We are using fresh and seasonally inspired ingredients to create a new kind of Mediterranean street food. Our vision is to take the flavour of each city and translate it into a pita. To take the energies, the groove, the longings, the limitations, the beauty and the food and express it all in one pita. Miznon come from the fertile imagination of a great Israeli chef, born in Jerusalem in 1959. Shani's culinary passion was first instilled in him by his Grandfather, an agronomist and a dedicated vegan. As a child, he would accompany his Grandfather to local markets, fields and vineyards. In 1989 he opened his first restaurant "Oceanus" in his home town of Jerusalem. There he developed a unique culinary language based on regional Mediterranean products: olive oil, fish, tahini, fresh seasonal vegetables and of course, the tomato. Since opening his fine dining restaurant "Salon" in Tel Aviv, Shani is now the inspiration and the leading chef of twelve highly successful restaurants. He is considered to be one of the leading figures in the Israeli culinary scene, starring in the TV series "Food for Thought" and appearing on the panel of judges during the past six seasons of Israeli "Master Chef."
