Meet your chef

Chef Kyle Nicol brings honest brasserie-style cooking with a sustainable ethos to the Hazel table. His dishes have a story, a memory, a retro twist or tradition, be it the simple comfort of Nan’s stuffing, a reimagined eclair, or house-made charcuterie and pickles. 

Chef Kyle’s career has taken him from Coffs Harbour and Queensland to the Michelin-starred Arbutus in London, Supernormal, Builders Arms and Rascal Brunswick in Melbourne and Lilac Wine Bar with The Mulberry Group. 

He embraces a fresh, unpretentious approach to food, focused on flavour, craft and a deep connection to local producers. 

At Hazel, everyone is welcome to feast.

 

 

The Space

Opened by The Mulberry Group in 2019, Hazel is located in the historic Richard Allen building on Flinders Lane. The design combines a pared-back aesthetic with heritage features such as soaring ceilings and exposed brickwork. Split over two levels, Hazel has two dining spaces, with upstairs featuring an open kitchen and wood-fired oven, while downstairs offers a warm welcome to casual diners with a centrepiece bar, soft lighting and views onto Flinders Lane.

Disabled access available via side entrance, if required please get in touch with us at info@hazelrestaurant.com.au
