Malouf lives in Dubai where he consults with restaurants globally and owns a spice range called "Malouf's Mezza". He is considered one of the foremost authorities on Middle Eastern cuisine and has had a significant impact on the way people think about and approach this cuisine.

Early life

Greg Malouf was born in Melbourne to Lebanese parents. He developed an interest in cooking and cuisine at a young age, to the disapproval of his parents. At age 18, he left home, leaving a message for his parents stating that he wanted to be a chef. After several nights sleeping in his personal car, he scrounged up a day job cutting metal balustrades and an evening job as a kitchen hand at a Mexican restaurant in Sydney. Then came a formal apprenticeship with Dennis Hagger back in Melbourne, which was followed by several years spent abroad.

Career

Malouf commenced his training as an apprentice cook at William Angliss Institute in 1979 where he worked at Watsons, Mietta’s and Two Faces restaurants. He spent some time in Europe from 1981 to 1983 working in various restaurants across the continent. From 1985 until 1988, he resided in Hong Kong and worked as a cook at Restaurant 97 in Lan Kwai Fong, which in the future changed its name to Post 97. In 1991 he moves back to Melbourne where he was appointed as head chef at The O'Connel's Restaurant in South Melbourne, His reputation for contemporary Middle Eastern food got cemented there and under his leadership the restaurant wins numerous awards. It is the first Middle Eastern restaurant to be awarded a ‘hat’ in The Age Good Food Guide.

In 1999 he published Saha: a Chef’s Journey through Lebanon and Syria with his then wife Lucy Malouf, the foreword to which would later be written by Anthony Bourdain.

In 2001 Malouf took the helm at MoMo restaurant where his contemporary approach to Middle Eastern cuisine was met with critical acclaim. During his tenure there, the restaurant successfully earned a one-hat status in the Age Good Food Guide. In 2009 MoMo was awarded two hats (out of three) in The Age Good Food Guide. In 2010 MoMo was awarded two hats in The Age Good Food Guide for the second consecutive year.

In 2012 Malouf was invited to head up the Petersham Nurseries Café in Richmond, South London. Under his leadership the restaurant earned a Michelin Star. He left the restaurant soon afterwards for Dubai, where he worked at many restaurants, including Clé and Zahira.

In 2019, Suqar Desserts and Sweets From The Modern Middle East won the James Beard Award for Baking and Desserts.

Malouf has stated his desire to leave behind hectic restaurant schedules and focus on his work as a culinary consultant.
