Zafron on Brunswick was opened in May 2007 by Chef Fay (Farideh) Knopf. Chef Fay has worked in traditional Italian and French cuisine for over two decades and designed her restaurant with a Euro-style approach to her native Persian cuisine. To diversify the menu, Chef Fay also offers some traditional and modern dishes from around the Mediterranean, including Italian, French, Greek and Moroccan flavours.

Chef Fay is assisted by her husband of 29 years, Michael Knopf. Michael is an award-winning composer and concert/jazz guitarist. Running the front-of-house Michael aims to compliment Fay’s efforts by providing an easy going and friendly atmosphere. Chef Fay often remarks that she wants her guests to feel like they are safe at home, with a lovely meal provided by family.
