OWNER & CHEF

Scott Pickett

Leading Australian chef Scott Pickett is steeped in tradition, a proud custodian of his profession’s heritage yet equally passionate about mentoring and finding energy in the next generation. “I love everything about restaurants,” he says. “The energy. The organised chaos. The tired feeling in your bones after a great service. The camaraderie too.” ‘Chefo’ to all. Pickett owns venues in Melbourne. Rather than being linked by cuisine - Chancery Lane is French, Longrain is Thai, stately Matilda is a contemporary grill - his restaurants are characterised by real cooking and heartfelt hospitality.

About Longrain

In the depths of the pandemic, Melbourne Thai institution Longrain was closed, it seemed forever. Then, Scott Pickett swept in, resurrecting this iconic warehouse restaurant and its first-floor bar, Longsong. Longrain is a place for shared banquets and exuberant cocktails, a city-centre venue with verve and class.
