ABOUT FLINDERS LANE

After working together at Public and Double Crown in NYC and discovering they had grown up in neighboring suburbs in Melbourne, Chris McPherson and Chef Chris Rendell oftentimes reminisced about the Australian dishes and cocktails they missed from home and wanted to introduce it to the States. McPherson’s experience as a front-of-house manager and beverage director combined with Rendell’s culinary background was the impetus of Flinders Lane. Named after the downtown Melbourne neighborhood famous for charming hidden laneways dotted with innovative restaurants, bars, cafes boutiques and art galleries, Flinders Lane serves up modern Australian cuisine peppered with Southeast Asian, British, and Mediterranean influences with locations in New York City and Stamford.
