An Intimate European Diner by the Reymonds, New Italian-American in the CBD, a Modern-Day Treasure Hunt Happening Now

Plus vintage furniture in a Brunswick warehouse.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   [Broadsheet]( 25 September 2019 [This Week]  Hi Melbourne, There’s nowhere better in our city right now to grab a stool at a marble-topped bar, a glass of Champagne and a plate of $2 oysters – from the Reymond siblings, Frederic has arrived, along with casual all-day offshoot Fred’s Bar. Across town, a mid-century furniture enthusiast is restoring pieces with history, which you can buy at his Brunswick workshop. And in the CBD, Pepe’s is a new diner that’s not doing anything by halves; there’s a hefty Martini list and family-sized parmas. We also discover 10 new local jewellery labels, each with a distinct style; uncover a mystery at an old pub; and get a rare look inside the home (and wardrobe) of one of Australia’s most respected interior designers. And Insta-famous artist CJ Hendry brings her treasure hunt to Melbourne. It’s happening right now, but only for a few more hours. Now, I’m off to lurk Hendry’s Instagram.
