Shu Restaurant is what you get when a guy from the Sichuan province in China comes to Melbourne and decides to follow his heart and passion. A visual merchandiser with an interest in fashion, Shu Liu may have left that life behind to put all his efforts into opening a restaurant, but since 2012 he has been planning a series of intimate dining experiences and we were privileged to collaborate with him on this, his very first. Called #popupshu it indulges Shu's love of dinner parties and hosting people not only in the restaurant but also his home. It's about bringing together the food of his childhood and presenting it in a way that is exciting and engaging yet still honest and fundamentally tasty. The food was paired with quality beverages including beautiful wine from The Limestone Coast in South Australia, small batch craft gin from the Mornington Peninsula and premium organic soft drinks.
