Greenhouse was an eco-friendly bar and restaurant at 100 St Georges Terrace in Perth, Western Australia. [2] [3] With a concept that included being well designed and completely waste free, [4] the restaurant featured a vegetable garden on the roof, a zero-carbon footprint, and ground its own organic flour. [3] Designed by Dutch-born florist, artist, builder and environmentalist Joost Bakker, Greenhouse opened in 2009 and closed in 2017. [4] [5]
Both head chef Matt Stone and the restaurant won a number of awards. In 2010, Stone was named Best New Talent at the national Gourmet Traveller Awards; [6] awarded Young Chef of the Year by The West Australian Good Food Guide in 2011 [3] and 2012. [7] The restaurant was given a one star rating, and the award for Best New Restaurant of the Year, by The West Australian Good Food Guide 2011, [7] and retained its one star rating for 2012 [7] and 2013, [8] but lost that rating for 2014. [9]
The Greenhouse concept was built upon at Federation Square in Melbourne in 2008–09, [4] [5] at Sydney Harbour in 2011, [4] [1] and at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in 2012. [4] [5] [10] Greenhouse featured in an episode of MasterChef Australia series 5 in 2013. [11] [12]
The restaurant was sold to Red Rock Leisure in partnership with chef Chris Taylor around 2012, [13] before closing in May 2017 due in part to decreased revenue and high operating costs. [13]
