Billionaire Justin Hemmes launches new Sydney Italian and Japanese fusion restaurant that he calls ‘a sensory delight’

Justin Hemmes knows hospitality. 

As the CEO of Merivale, he heads up a range of extremely successful bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants around the country. 

The billionaire’s latest venture is the super trendy Good Luck Restaurant Lounge in Sydney’s CBD. 

Offering a fusion of Italian and Japanese food, Justin admits that the cuisine is hard to define. 

‘It’s a sensory delight. I really want the guest to experience because I can’t do it justice,’ he tells the Daily Telegraph.

‘And ultimately it’s up for the guest to decide. We aren’t pigeonholing ourselves with this venue’. 

The eatery sits in the historic Burns Philp & Co building and is headed up by executive chef Mike Eggert.

The restauranteur, 51, is dating his model girlfriend Madeleine Holtznagel, 27.

Madeline and Justin quietly began seeing each other in 2019, a year after he made his debut on the Financial Review Rich List with an estimated net worth of $951million.

Last June, Madeline teased her Instagram followers by wearing a ring on her wedding finger.

A picture showed her sporting the jewellery as she cuddled up to Justin as they enjoyed a bowl of Udon noodles together at a restaurant in Japan.

But the bling appeared to be a turquoise dress ring, and another photograph showed her wearing a different ring on the same finger as she posed for a selfie.

Earlier this year, Madeleine celebrated her 27th birthday party with a lavish bash at Justin’s sprawling Vaucluse estate.

Justin shares daughters Alexa, six, and Saachi, five, who he shares with his model ex Kate Fowler.
