Lisa Levy: Co-Owner Inati, Christchurch
Lisa Levy grew up in Hawkes Bay and worked in front of house roles in various restaurants in the country while at University. She moved to London in 2001 where she began working for restaurants and private event catering companies who catered for the Royal Family. It was in London that she met Simon, her now-husband, working together at Rules Restaurant. Lisa retrained in Human Resources whilst in London and moved into HR for the Maybourne Hotel Group. She was heavily involved in the rebirth of the Connaught whilst it underwent a multi million pound restoration. In 2013, Lisa and Simon made the move to New Zealand and relocated in Christchurch. Upon their return to Christchurch post-quake, they could see what an exciting city Christchurch would become. Their dream was to open their own restaurant here – and then INATI was born.
