CIBI

“delightfully imaginative collection of Japanese-inspired dishes that make the most out of seasonal ingredients. The Tanakas blend a playful approach to healthy, flavorful recipes that rely on fresh ingredients.” .” -Publishers Weekly

CIBI is the love and life of Meg and Zenta Tanaka. After meeting at university in Adelaide and spending time travelling in Europe, they established CIBI (‘a little one’) in Melbourne more than 11 years ago as an expression of their way of living, their desire to create a space for people to enjoy and feel at home in, and to blend their backgrounds and experience in food, wine, design and architecture. At CIBI, Japanese sensibilities and their evolving Australian lifestyles are combined to create a community, driven by the key elements of head, hands and heart: a warm and welcoming space that marries simple, good food with sophisticated design to enrich the lives of customers, friends and family and to provide a sense of joy and happiness.
