Chauncy is a French bistro restaurant located in Heathcote, Victoria.
Chauncy is located on the main street in Heathcote and was established in 2021. It resides in a heritage-listed sandstone building that was built in 1854, originally the office and residence of Philip Chauncy, the chief surveyor of the district.[1][2][3]
The restaurant is owned by chef Louis Naepels and his partner Tess Murray, who is a sommelier.[1] Naepels is French, and much of the menu is inspired by his experiences in Basque Country in south-western France.[1] He was previously also the head chef at Grossi Florentino, in Melbourne.[4] Murray has experience in some of Melbourne's best restaurants, including Supernormal and Cutler & Co, and has done vintages making wine in Burgundy and the Mornington Peninsula.[1][5][6]
