<P> On 31 March 2014 , Heston Blumenthal announced he would be closing the restaurant for renovations for 6 months and temporarily relocating it with its entire team to Crown Towers , Melbourne , Australia . The restaurant will be called The Fat Duck for 6 months before being renamed Dinner by Heston Blumenthal . This will be the second restaurant with that name and will be Blumenthal 's first restaurant outside of Britain , and his sixth in total . This temporary closure of the Bray location caused the restaurant to become ineligible for assessment for the 2016 Michelin Guide , thus losing its 3 - starred status which it regained the following year . </P>
