Order Up – new exhibition highlights the humble docket to celebrate a city fed by many cultures, Australian Arts Review, 14 October 2025
Fluttering among hundreds of scribbled, food-stained dockets, the legacy of Melbourne’s renowned hospitality scene is served up in a new exhibition to open at Immigration Museum on Thursday 16 October: Order Up – a city fed by many cultures.
These are the dockets, passed from hand to hand, that keep our kitchens moving, and the city fed, by a smorgasbord of cultures. Order Up will transport visitors into the heart of 33 iconic Melbourne restaurants and their kitchens including France-Soir, Abla’s, Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar, Supper Inn, The Horn, Chae, Taverna, Rumi, Pastuso and more.
