Blayne Bertoncello

Executive Chef, O.MY; Beaconsfield, Australia

Blayne Bertoncello is head chef and owner at O.MY Restaurant and Ned’s Lounge as well as the operations manager of the restaurants’ farm in Cardinia. His focus is on sustainable, seasonal eating, and having a connection to the foods being produced. After establishing a 3.5-acre farm to supply his restaurant, Blayne shifted his mentality towards ensuring a sense of meaning and place behind his food. Blayne has formed relationships with farmers, fisheries, and producers around Victoria to supply what he cannot grow himself at the farm to complete the restaurant’s menu.
