the undertaker
Restaurants have really come to the interior design party in the past decade. No more bland tables or regulation chairs. One of the best recent examples of stunning design if The Undertaker in Melbourne's Hawthorn. While I've yet to taste the food - although it comes via the talent of ex Bathers Pavilion chef Ian Alexander - the decor is top notch. Anna Roberts, who worked on the interior with the restaurant's general manager Olivia Frawley, comes with interesting credentials. She worked for Priscilla Carluccio (Terance Conran's sister and Antonio Carluccio's wife) on Carluccio's caffes in London, opening about 15 of them during her time there.
