New Zealand celebrity chef Martin Bosley will take on a role of executive head chef at a Melbourne CBD restaurant, following agreed terms on a new lease in Little Collins Street.

Bosely will head the new Imagine Lounge Bar & Dining seafood speciality enterprise at the 450 square metre former Sotto Restaurant lease, located in the basement of the Causeway Hotel at 353 Little Collins Street, on a 10 year term. 

According to Savills Australia Victorian retail director, Michael Di Carl, CBD basement rents are in the order of $300 to $400 a square metre net.

Di Carlo said Bosley’s deputy of 11 years Shawn (Shamis) Roper would take the role as head chef.

He said Image Lounge represented a new venture for lessor, restaurateur Nindy Singh.
