Permanently closed.

Restaurant Mason is situated underneath the Essington Apartments on Hunter Street, Newcastle (previously the Oishi Japanese Restaurant and Atlas Café). An extensive redecoration and refit of the space has taken place with outstanding results. Restaurant Mason offers smart food in a relaxed venue. CHRIS THORNTON | Head Chef & Owner

Chris has always had a passion for food. Starting off working in k

itchens through high school, he began his training at Peppers Guest House in the Hunter Valley under Jamie Hartcher. After 12 months, Chris moved to Newcastle to help open the toqued Restaurant II with Newcastle incumbent Peter Bryant. During his apprenticeship, he won the Brett Graham Shield, giving him the opportunity to travel to London for work under the acclaimed Michelin Star Chef and fellow Novocastrian Brett Graham. After staging at the Ledbury for a month, Chris returned to complete his apprenticeship before heading back to the Ledbury. After spending sometime with Brett developing his craft, Chris came home to Newcastle and took over as head chef at Bistro Tartine where he fined tuned his skills and created his own style. Two years on and his dream to bring michelin quality food to Newcastle is realised in Restaurant Mason.

As they say all good things must come to an end. On Saturday April 9th 2022 Restaurant Mason will serve its final meal. After 3749 days, 5 tons of potatoes, a hell of a lot plates of food and some incredible memories we are calling stumps. Very few restaurants get to make the decision to close on there own and as such we feel extremely lucky that we can go out at the top of our game and of our own acord

Every Staff member, Supplier, Customer, media outlet, hospitality peer, friend and family member has played a part in the longevity, success and survival of Mason. Ami and I will forever be grateful for the relationships that have been developed over the years and will sorely miss the people who’s lives we have had the joy of being intertwined with

A Huge Thankyou to my parents for lending us the funds to start this decade long adventure Thankyou to the teams who have formed our mason family and to the suppliers who stuck with us in the hard times. To my incredible wife, queen of Xero , sender of many emails and admin extraordinaire I am so incredibly proud of what we achieved together, none of this would ever have possible without you

Although this is the end for the restaurant we will still be available for the odd private event

But for now we hope to see as many of you as possible over the next 4 weeks if only to just say Thankyou.
