Manu Feildel's Biography
It seems that Manu Feildel was destined to become a
great chef and entertainer from the moment he was born. His great grandfather
was a pastry chef, his grandfather and father were chefs, and his mother is a
great cook – but as a child Manu saw his future on the stage rather than in the
kitchen.
At 13 years old Manu joined an amateur circus
school however, by the time he turned 15 he had decided that the road to
becoming a professional clown was not for him. He started as an apprentice in
his father’s restaurant and quickly progressed to a fine dining restaurant to
finish his apprenticeship. But soon thereafter the travel bug bit Manu and he
packed his knives and headed for London.
It was there, working in the top French restaurants
in the UK, that Manu really began to understand and love the career he had
chosen. In 1999 Manu flew to Australia and it was in Sydney that his career
started to move at a lightning pace — opening Sydney Morning Herald
Chef’s Hat winning kitchens across Sydney, and eventually his own restaurant in
Paddington. Manu’s newest restaurant venture, Le Grand Cirque, opened in
Melbourne in March 2014.
