It all began with the bustling pizzeria he opened at 23. Since then Paul Mathis has been behind a long list of popular Melbourne restaurants including Transport, Taxi, Transit, Upper House and Lower House, Chocolate Buddha, Soulmama, Blue Train Cafe and Automatic. After relinquishing Transport Hotel and other Federation Square properties (for a reported $21 million) Paul vowed to put ecological sustainability at the core of his restaurants and in 2007 he opened 100 Mile Cafe, a concept restaurant in the CBD sourcing 95% of its menu from within a hundred-mile (160 km) radius. About 18 months ago Paul set up a firm that designs eco-buildings, and they are currently working on a compound-style home, supermarket and a commercial building.
The future will see Paul developing the oldest pub in Victoria; the Duke of Wellington on the corner of Russell and Flinders Street in the Melbourne CBD. The new venue will feature a pub, wine bar and a restaurant under the banner; The Dow.
