Biota Dining - Another MKN Kuchenmeister in Australia

MKN catering equipment


I first met James Viles as he was designing his future commercial kitchen in Signorelli, the new venue of Doltone House in Sydney. Then I had the opportunity to invite him to see an MKN Kuchenmeister on MKN stand during FHA in Singapore. See below:

From there we discussed about the technology and the commercial cooking equipment he wanted in his custom-made cooking suite. After discussions on sizes, shapes, budget, gas or Induction, we achieved to agree on a hand-sketch drawing as follows.

You will notice that at that time, the name of the future restaurant was Botanica. Despite the bad quality drawing above, MKN in good Germans achieved to send a more presentable 3D drawing.
After about 3 months, the Kuchenmeister arrived in Bowral.

1.5 ton of equipment in one piece that we would have to slide into the kitchen. And we did it.







After tilting the Kuchenmeister back on its plinth, James could discover his cooking suite for the first time.


We then, just had to connect the appliance to power and water. Thanks to MKN design, there is only one connection point for power and water in the complete cooking suite.
Since the opening in March, Biota has been acclaimed for its design and of course for James and Shaun Quade's cooking. Biota has been positively mentioned in Sydney Morning Herald as one of the Best Designed Restaurant in New South Wales.

We are very proud to have been part of this project and wish to James and his team all the Best of luck and success for the future.
