ADFAS Brisbane: Mirka and Georges: A Culinary Affair
This lecture tells the story of the Mora’s celebrated hospitality in Australia and their intermingling of food, art, love and life. Arriving in Melbourne from Paris in 1951, Mirka and her husband Georges contributed significantly to the local art and restaurant scenes and the city’s gradual transformation into a sophisticated metropolis. Their apartment became a hub for the Bohemian set, who then gravitated to Mirka Café in Exhibition Street in 1954 and their two subsequent restaurants, Café Balzac and Tolarno French Bistro.

Refreshments will be provided after each lecture session, morning tea after the morning lecture and wine and cheese after the evening lecture.
