The word "tala" means story, and a Michelin-starred multi-course tasting menu in Parnell is the format the chef uses to tell his. Henry Onesemo's cooking centers on Samoan tradition, rendered with a precision that makes the heritage feel expansive rather than museumified. Counter seats put you closest to the kitchen, and the team narrates each dish with the ease of people who have explained it a hundred times and still mean it.
