From Here by Mike

In the newly launched 1 Hotel Melbourne—Australia’s first outpost of the globally renowned sustainable luxury hotel brand—From Here by Mike is much more than a signature restaurant. It’s a grounded, ingredient-led dining experience that reflects the very ethos of 1 Hotels: nature-first, design-forward, and deeply committed to sustainability.

Located on a stunning 220-metre stretch of Yarra River frontage, the hotel’s prized restaurant is the creation of celebrated Australian chef Mike McEnearney. Known for his produce-driven cooking and low-waste philosophy, McEnearney brings a seasonal sensibility and quiet reverence for nature to From Here. His culinary style is rooted in simplicity, provenance and a sincere connection to the land—making the restaurant feel less like a hotel dining room and more like a love letter to Victoria.

At From Here, the story begins with the produce. Sourced from local farms, makers and winemakers—some just kilometres away—the menu unfolds as a celebration of the region’s untamed beauty. Each dish is a narrative of season and place, thoughtfully composed and gently inventive, yet always familiar and deeply nourishing. This is storytelling through sourcing—food that honours not only flavour, but also the farmers, growers and artisans behind it.

Designed to be both elegant and welcoming, From Here offers a grounded space to slow down and reconnect. Guests can drop in for a glass of low-intervention wine at the bar or linger over a shared meal that meanders through the landscape of Victoria—one plate at a time. Whether it’s lunch with colleagues, a special occasion dinner, or a solo moment of quiet indulgence, the restaurant balances sophisticated execution with heartfelt intention.

Much like the hotel itself—a benchmark in biophilic design and eco-luxury—From Here speaks to a new wave of hospitality in Melbourne. It’s about more than just what’s on the plate. It’s about place, season, sustainability, and soul. Dining here feels deeply personal, yet quietly transformative. It’s not just about where you’re eating—it’s about where you’re from.
