Where It All Began

Lunar-ibis was founded in 2012 by a small group of chefs who shared a common vision: to make exceptional culinary experiences accessible beyond the walls of traditional restaurants. What started as a passion project serving intimate dinner parties has grown into a comprehensive culinary service trusted by families and businesses across Australia.

Our name reflects our approach — the ibis, a resourceful and adaptable bird found throughout Australia, represents our ability to work with any setting and transform it into something extraordinary. The lunar element speaks to the changing rhythms of seasons and ingredients that guide our menus.

Our Philosophy

Seasonal & Local

We work closely with Australian farmers, fishers, and artisan producers to source ingredients at their peak. This isn't just about quality — it's about supporting the communities and traditions that make Australian food culture vibrant and unique.

Tailored to You

No two clients are alike, and neither are our menus. Every service begins with understanding your preferences, dietary requirements, and the occasion itself. From there, we craft an experience that feels personal and considered.

Education & Empowerment

We believe in sharing knowledge. Whether through our cooking classes or simply explaining our process as we work, we aim to leave you with skills and inspiration that extend far beyond a single meal.
