Jamie Oliver set for new Parramatta restaurant

The British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver seems set to open Jamie's Trattoria in Parramatta.

Oliver's first Italian Australian restaurant opened in Sydney's CBD in 2011, with others following in Perth, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide.

The Pacific Restaurant Group, which holds the franchise for the Oliver restaurant brand in Australia and New Zealand, plans to spend up to $1.4 million fitting out the former bridal store site as a 200 seat restaurant.

Parramatta Council is revamping the mall, renaming the area Bicentennial Square.

It was the premises of the Park Avenue bridal boutique that left hundreds of brides-to-be stranded when it collapsed in August 2013.

The 83 Macquarie Street premises, identified by the foodie syndicate in late 2013, were recently indicated as leased.

The space is on the south-west corner of Church Street and Macquarie Street.
