Nobu Melbourne Welcomes New Chef De Cuisine Heather Zheng

Nobu Melbourne is pleased to announce the appointment of Heather Zheng as the award-winning restaurant’s new Chef de Cuisine.
Beijing-born, American-raised Zheng has recently re-located to Melbourne from Las Vegas where she has spent the last five years working in some of the city’s top restaurants. Zheng is no stranger to working with Nobu’s distinctive Peruvian-influenced Japanese cuisine as she has spent more than two years working at Nobu Las Vegas.

Most recently, Zheng was a sous chef at the acclaimed French restaurant, Andre’s. The multi-award winning restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in both 2007 and 2008.

From late 2005 until early 2008, Zheng was a line cook and later promoted to be a sous chef at Nobu Las Vegas. During her time at Nobu Las Vegas the restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star.

Zheng was raised in Washington State and completed her culinary studies in San Francisco before moving to Las Vegas in 2005 where her first role was as a line cook at the French restaurant, Pinot Brasserie at the prestigious Venetian Hotel.

Nobu Melbourne’s menu will largely remain unchanged. However, Zheng’s interesting and unique background and varied experience in both French and Japanese cuisine brings a new dynamic to Nobu Melbourne, including the introduction of new dishes.

Robert de Niro, on his recent visit to Melbourne said he “has a love for the black cod with miso.”

Nobu Melbourne’s menus will reflect Chef Zheng’s arrival in the coming months.
