Create an experience with Adrian Richardson

Adrian Richardson is owner and head chef at the successful and bustling La Luna in North Carlton, where he has been serving up clean, fresh and innovative food since 1999. In 2016, Adrian opened his latest venue, Bouvier in Brunswick, which continues Adrian’s love of great food, mixed with a huge array of beverages for all tastes, in a New York style setting. 

Inheriting his passion for cooking from his Grandfather, Adrian has a simple philosophy with his food, which he calls “modern Mediterranean” - he believes in using the freshest ingredients and keeping it simple.

Adrian is co-host of Good Chef Bad Chef (Network Ten) and host of Richo’s Bar Snacks (SBS).

Previously, he hosted Secret Meat Business (Lifestyle Channel), co-hosted Boys Weekend with Gary Mehigan, Manu Feildel and Miguel Maestre, which aired in over 110 countries, and appeared alongside Tobie Puttock in Jamie’s Kitchen Australia. Adrian appeared as a guest in the series 1 finale of MasterChef Australia and on MasterChef All Stars in 2012. He was also a regular guest on Channel Ten’s “The Circle”, Channel Nine’s Mornings, Ten’s “9am with David & Kim” and hit TV series “Ready Steady Cook” for the first three seasons.

Adrian has shared his passion through his acclaimed book “MEAT”, published by Hardie Grant. The book was nominated for the best designed cookbook at the Australian Publishers Association Design Awards for 2008, and was included in Melbourne’s Herald Sun “Best Books of 2008” feature. Adrian’s second book “The Good Life” was launched in August 2011. 

In 2013, Adrian led a team of three Australian chefs to take on the US chefs (including Bobby Flay) on Iron Chef America. It was the first time an overseas team was invited to compete.
