Julie Lin - GAGA, GLASGOW
Juggling a burgeoning TV presenting career with the opening of her second runaway success story, Gaga, Glaswegian Julie Lin has fast become one of the busiest women in the industry. Weaving in the Nyonya flavours of her childhood trips to her grandmother’s in Malaysia, the packed out ‘kitchen and bar’ shines a light on the hybrid Chinese-Malay flavours that made her first restaurant, Julie’s Kopitiam, such a cult hit.
Matteo Morbini - ITALY
One of Italy’s brightest young talents, the hyper talented Tuscan joins us for five nights of wonderfully imaginative cooking that reflects both his classical Italian fine dining roots as well as his formative years in world renowned kitchens from Sydney to London. Next up? An exciting new solo project in NYC. But first, a five night spin on the Carousel.
Shōbōsho - ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA
Literally translated as ‘fire station’, Shōbōsho is the thrill-a-minute realisation of chef Adam Liston's lifelong obsession with the ancient traditions of Japanese yakitori. Adam and his team playfully elevate yakitori staples from the ordinary to the extraordinary, blending smoke, steam and fire with the finesse, skill and texture of all that is raw, cured, pickled, and fermented.
Emazulwini - CAPE TOWN
With her refreshing contemporary take on traditional Zulu cooking, super talent Mmabatho Molefe has catapulted Emazulwini into the spotlight. The young chef’s seasonal tasting menus celebrate local ingredients, weaving age-old techniques with modern innovation to elevate typically home-style Zulu and Nguni dishes into fine dining creations that are as visually arresting as they are delicious.
Gift Cards -
With an ever-changing line-up of big name chefs from around the world, workshops and masterclasses, no two days at Carousel are ever the same. A Carousel gift card unlocks all of these and comes with a guarantee from us that whatever the lucky recipient ends up going for, it promises to be pretty damn awesome.

Chef Stories
Wild – A State of Mind
Here we reflect on the endless creative possibilities of wild ingredients with The Botanist and their crew of foraging chefs.
Our collaboration with The Botanist opens up the Carousel kitchen to some of the most talented forager-chefs from around the British Isles who use ingredients like these as we might use salt and pepper. As well as introducing you to some surprising and unexpected flavours, together we hope to illustrate that there is opportunity and inspiration everywhere, in every city park and along every country lane. A drink need never be the same again, and that’s something well worth raising a glass to.
