Fresh Off the Grill: The latest offering from the team behind popular Middle Eastern joint Francis is  Mediterranean-inspired grill house Mr Brown, joining the team’s first effort in the happening Star Street neighborhood.

Look & Feel: Designed by Australian-based Samantha Eades, Mr Brown carries forward Francis’ cool, intimate ambience. Expect plenty of dark woods, terracotta brick, and moody lighting.

On the Menu: Mr Brown is all about barbecued meats, fish and vegetables with a distinct Mediterranean flavor.

Meet the Chef: Hailing from Israel, Asher Goldstein boasts over a decade of experience working in kitchens of his native Tel Aviv, Sydney, and now Hong Kong. Coming from a family of chefs, his approach to his dishes involves seasonal ingredients and traditional techniques elevated with international flair.

FYI: Co-founder and sommelier Simone Sammuri has curated a list of boutique wines and craft beers that’ll complement the food.
