De Niro Opens Nobu in Melbourne
Thursday August 16, 2007
Actor Robert de Niro has officially opened the first Nobu restaurant in Australia at the Crown Casino Entertainment Complex at Melbourne's Southbank tonight.
Melbourne's Nobu is one of now nearly 20 Nobu restaurants worldwide, started in Manhattan in 1994 by Japanese celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa at De Niro's urging.
The Hollywood actor remains an owner and partner of the Nobu restaurant chain. Nobu has a local partner in each of its locations, with Crown owner James Packer its Melbourne partner.
Nobu has already had an earlier soft opening at the Crown complex and has provided diners with a taste of Nobu's signature dishes such as black cod with miso and yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno.
