Restaurant Navi

Navi is an acclaimed intimate dining experience in the heart of Melbourne’s inner West. A hyper-local, seasonal, and carefully curated degustation, this unique two-hatted restaurant, the name translating to ‘Local’ in Cherokee, is a nod to Chef and Owner Julian Hills’ American heritage.

Navi is Julian’s dream. His own space to create a balanced tasting menu using ingredients sourced from small producers and local farms. Julian hopes to interact with guests as he presents his work and explains the story behind each dish.

From foraging for ingredients to the hand-made ceramics and the final product, each element is imagined and brought to life through the creative process and expertise of the Chef.
