The all-day venue from Cam Miller started as a small cafe, serving ice-cream and coffee, and eventually became a day-to-night wine bar, restaurant and hotspot frequented by the likes of <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inline cursor-pointer border-b border-current pb-0 transition duration-100 hover:border-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.broadsheet.com.au\/melbourne\/food-and-drink\/article\/where-dua-lipa-ate-drank-and-partied-melbourne\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dua Lipa<\/a>. In 2022, Miller expanded his convent reach with dreamy Hot Listed restaurant <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inline cursor-pointer border-b border-current pb-0 transition duration-100 hover:border-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.broadsheet.com.au\/melbourne\/abbotsford\/restaurants\/julie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Julie<\/a>. But today, Miller announced both venues have closed and entered voluntary liquidation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">\u201cDespite exploring every avenue to continue operating, it is now no longer possible for both Julie and Cam\u2019s to continue in their present form. The hospitality industry has faced significant challenges in recent years, and despite every effort to adapt, trading conditions ultimately proved unsustainable,\u201d Miller wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">\u201cBoth businesses have now been handed over to liquidators and will go through the formal process,\u201d Miller said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">\u201cThis is the end of a chapter that has meant a great deal to me personally, and one that I will always look back on with gratitude. We remain grateful to have been part of the Abbotsford Convent arts and hospitality community for so many years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam\u2019s Kiosk has been a fixture of Abbotsford Convent since it opened in 2009.
