MasterChef finalist Callum Hann will temporarily close his Adelaide CBD restaurant Eleven on August 3.
Hann, 34, and his business partner Themis Chryssidis launched their premium restaurant in 2020 during “the heart of the Covid pandemic.”
The couple will reopen the restaurant in the same location with an “exciting new concept” weeks later on August 28.
In a recent Instagram post, the restaurant shared its vision for its decision, acknowledging the transformations within the Waymouth Street precinct and the obstacles posed by nearby construction.
‘In recent years, Adelaide’s food scene has changed. It hasn’t changed for better or worse, it just has changed. Similarly, the Waymouth Street district has changed immensely,” the post said.

He continues: “Although the construction of the Marriott hotel located right next to our headquarters has also posed great challenges.”
“However, with the heritage-listed Marriott Hotel in the GPO nearing completion, and recognizing that the dining scene in Adelaide has changed, we see this as an opportunity to make some important and exciting changes to eleven,” they continued.
‘We are so excited about the possibilities at the new and rejuvenated site that, as well as a completely new concept, we will also be expanding our offering in the area as we take on an additional tenancy… proof that we’re not going anywhere! added the publication.
