Momo
Melbourne restaurants, Melbourne dining
Situated at the Paris end of Collins Street in Melbourne is a very special place unmarked by the passage of time. This beautiful place is Mo Mo. The name itself has a story to tell. It is said when the French occupied North Africa, ‘Mo Mo’ was the term given to those with the name Mohammad. Greg Malouf, our head chef, has inspired a generation of young chefs and transformed the Melbourne restaurant scene with his passion for the flavours of North Africa and the Middle East. He was born in Melbourne, of Lebanese parents. After serving his formal apprenticeship in several of Melbourne’s finest restaurants, he went on to work in France, Italy, Austria and Hong Kong. Greg has forged a unique style of cooking that combines Middle Eastern tradition with contemporary flair. In 1991 Greg set up O’Connells restaurant in one of Melbourne’s best known hotels. Greg is in constant demand around Australia and abroad for chef-masterclasses, media interviews and guest chef appearances in leading hotels of the world. Greg’s new home is now at Melbourne’s Mo Mo Restaurant.
