The title of Melbourne’s favourite restaurateur is uncontentious: Andrew McConnell’s establishments – which include neighbourhood wine bar Marion, modern pub The Builders Arms and all-day café Cumulus – are the default choices for anyone looking for an assuredly great meal. Fusion restaurant Supernormal is not to be missed either: it sums up McConnell’s flair for design with its sharp Japanese-inspired fit-out, and his brilliance in the kitchen with a creative Asian-inflected menu.
