LUKE NGUYEN PRESENTS
LUA X ANTARA
Monday, 16th February 2026
Melbourne, Australia
The Experience:
For one-night-only, join as celebrated Australian chef Luke Nguyen teams up with all-day restaurant, bar & bakery, Antara. Be among the first to preview flavours from Lua - Luke’s upcoming Sydney restaurant - co-created with the Antara team exclusively for this event. The menu blends early Lua signatures with Antara’s culinary craftsmanship - dishes you won’t find anywhere else. With limited seats, this is a rare opportunity to experience Lua before it opens in Sydney.
Beyond the plates, you’ll hear first-hand about Luke’s creative process - how he collaborates with chefs to develop and refine menus, and what it takes to bring an innovative new restaurant to life, from concept and testing to sourcing, design, and building the team.
Together with KrisFlyer and Mastercard®, transform your KrisFlyer miles into an exclusive experience.

About Antara:
Antara is an all-day restaurant, bar and bakery to drop in throughout the day. The seasonally shifting menu focuses on local provenance and producers, with light, flavourful dishes that carry that very Melbourne sense of ease and sophistication. Small plates and large meant to be had with wine, with a Chilean influence riffing on the heritage of Head Chef Juan Lantadilla Tapia. From an alfresco spot in the sun to a window seat at the front bar, a counter perch or a table, we'll be open, drinks & more, dawn to dark.
