MOLLI COMES WITH SOME notable names attached. It’s owned by influential Melbourne hospo stalwart Nathan Toleman, the man behind the stylish likes of Hazel, Dessous, Lilac Wine and Higher Ground. Then there are the names populating the CV of the new chef, Caitlin Koether, who cut her teeth at places like San Francisco’s Bar Tartine and Relae in Copenhagen. It’s hard not to notice the synergy.
