About Us: “I am the scientist and Carl is the chef,” says Kelie Kenzler. Actually they are brave and talented people, pioneering culinary boundaries in the style of molecular gastronomy experts such as Spain’s Ferran Adrià. This is no ordinary food, relying on matching foods according to their chemical composition, often employing unusual combinations, but without exception resulting in mind-blowing but delightful results. Diners need to come here with an open mind and be prepared for textures, flavours and delivery they could never have anticipated.

Chef Kenzler’s experience on the Sunshine Coast and his wife’s science degree makes this a unique partnership. Despite the menu, perhaps the most surprising thing of all is that this place is tucked away in a très-ordinary suburban shopping strip a little away from Nelson Bay’s main drag.
