Jimmy, an English chef, and Ruth, a maître d'hôtel from Rio de Janeiro, met in Melbourne, Australia, 10 years ago while working in the city's thriving multicultural restaurant scene. After much persuasion, Ruth finally convinced Jimmy to move to Rio de Janeiro and together they opened a small restaurant.

Jimmy began his culinary career in renowned kitchens in London and Manchester before moving to Melbourne, where he climbed the ranks to head his own kitchens. In 2019, along with some friends in the industry, he opened the first of three successful restaurants.

Ruth arrived in Australia 10 years ago and learned the secrets of gastronomy from some of Melbourne's top restaurateurs. She quickly developed a passion for hospitality and excellent service, while refining her palate with exclusive wines from around the world.

After arrival, they opened the doors in December. Nimbus is more relaxed than formal. We enjoy having a chat, laughing and listening to music. Our goal is to take care of people, either for one night or for many years. The menu changes with the seasons, but you can always count on fresh ingredients featured by local providers.
