Our Story

Nestled in the heart of Goulburn, Lush Café and Bar stands as a testament to indulgence, comfort, and refinement. The name “Lush” reflects the experience we aspire to offer: a place rich in flavor, vibrant in ambiance, and teeming with warmth and hospitality. At Lush, every meal is an escape, a moment to revel in the simple joys of life.

The heart of our culinary artistry lies in our talented chefs, Krishna Bhandari and Basanta Regmi, whose combined expertise brings unparalleled taste and creativity to the table. Krishna, with over nine years of experience, has honed his skills in some of the finest kitchens, mastering cuisines that range from traditional Nepali flavors to contemporary Australian delights. His dedication to perfection and flair for innovation ensure every dish tells a story.

Basanta, with seven years of professional cooking experience, complements Krishna’s expertise with his own blend of culinary skills and attention to detail. Beyond the kitchen, Basanta wears many hats—bringing exceptional customer service and managing the café’s accounts with precision. His background in accounting and customer care ensures the café operates smoothly, while his warm interactions with guests make every visit special.

Together, Krishna and Basanta have created a menu that reflects their shared passion for food, culture, and quality. At Lush, guests can expect handcrafted meals prepared with the freshest ingredients, a thoughtfully curated selection of beverages, and an atmosphere designed to make every moment memorable.
