A lifetime surrounded by food and restaurant life has provided Le Feu Mornington owner Kevin Nguyen with an exceptional understanding of ingredients, cooking and hospitality.
As a child, Kevin lived in his grandmother’s floating restaurant in Vietnam and worked at his father’s restaurant from the age of 14. He followed this by studying his craft and working for a further 12 years in various resorts, casinos and restaurants across Vietnam, Macau and Australia, including as head chef at the Shannon Bennett-owned Jardin Tan in Melbourne. Kevin’s the owner of four restaurants under the Le Feu brand as well as nearby takeaway outlet Pot au Pho.
Le Feu offers a delicious fusion of French-style slow cooking with the freshness of Vietnamese cuisine, from Asian-inspired breakfast to traditional Vietnamese classics such as pho, spring roll, rice paper roll, steam bao, dumpling, laska, and French-infused creations.
Le Feu has a diverse menu with more than 50 dishes. There is always something new to try. Most of the dishes take 10 hours or more to cook, including the signature sher Wagyu beef curry, lamb ribs, char-grilled lemongrass chicken and crispy caramelised roast pork. It’s the winner of multiple food industry and restaurant awards and was a finalist in the 2022 Restaurant & Catering Awards for Excellence.
Kevin is dedicated to creating healthy food across a fully gluten-free menu with accreditation by Coeliac Australia. This highly rated and well-reviewed eatery is a top choice for locals and visitors alike.
Fully licensed with outside seating, Le Feu is open from 11am-9pm daily for lunch and dinner.
