Lovely little local French restaurant. Food is beautifully cooked and very tasty, wine was good, and atmosphere is relaxed and intimate. Liked everything about our night here and will be back.
We used to go a while back but my french partner absolutely loved the place and thought everything tasted so classic french and priced just right. would go back if we’re in the area.
Stumbled on their website by accident and was hooked by their special 1st anniversary degustation night of their six best selling dishes. Menu looked fantastic and I can’t stop thinking about it, so I made a reservation. Since my favourite French restaurant closed last year, I’ve been on the lookout for a new favourite, this could be it.A glass of sparkling on arrival and a friendly smile, enough to make a great first impression before our amuse bouche arrived, Escargot with Garlic & Parsley Butter. Definitely a great start! We didn’t have to wait long before the first course arrived, Sydney Rock Oysters with Sauce Mignonette. Vinegar with mince eschallots made great accompaniment to the freshly shucked oysters.Black Truffle & Mushroom Veloute with Crumbed Quail Egg is creamy and earthy with perfectly cooked crumbed quail egg added necessary texture to the dish. Pan Fried Pancetta Rolled Scallop with Foie Gras, Fennel Remoulade, Lemon & Lime Vinaigrette was excellent. This was my favourite dish of the night. It was sublime. Everything on the plate complemented each other and the foie gras added complexity to the dish. Kimchi, Tofu, Ham Hock Terrine with Apple, Ssamjang Chutney, Sesame Leaf & Nashi Pear Walnut Salad was fresh and a great follow up after a heavy meal, a palate cleanser before our next heavy meal.But the highlight and my husband’s favourite dish of the night was Grilled Eye Fillet of Beef with Basil Pistou & Jus. Perfectly seared sous vide beef so tender it felt like butter when you cut through it. It left an impression on my husband so big he seriously contemplating on buying a sous vide machine to try and recreate it.Just when we thought they can’t go any better than this, desserts came. I had the Passionfruit and Plum Creme Brule with its perfectly cracked caramelised sugar topping added extra crunch. I can’t really taste the plum though, but found generous amount of Passionfruit inside the Brule. My husband chose the Apple Tarte Tatin, Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream & Salted Crumbed and I can tell you he kept telling how happy he was that he chose it for his dessert. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case the Tarte Tatin as he scraped clean his plate within minutes of consuming it.Great timing on the delivery for each course. The matching wines I had with my meals were greatly matched. All that combined with intimate ambience and friendly staff definitely completed a pleasant dining experience.
It’s my first time that I had beef cheeks, so on Saturday night the 22nd I had the twice cooked beef cheek and it was just magnificent and it went well with the carrot puree, lentils & mushroom trumpet
Nice food, friendly staff. Barramundi needed more seasoning, apart from that a good experience. I would return if there were more non meat options. I found I was very limited to what I could order being a non meat/ duck/ offal eater. Perhaps a nice chicken dish???
We chose a French restaurant for dinner to bring back memories for two of us of our trip to Paris early last year. The food did not disappoint! I had the Pork Parmentier, pulled pork topped with potato – wonderful flavours. Others had plat de jour – marlin fish cakes, duck confit, fish. All comments were positive. Washed down with 2 bottles of French Pinot Noir. The menu changes often and the chef visited our table and chatted for about 10 minutes about his sources of fresh meat and seafood. Great for a special occasion.
Absolutely thrilled to discover this fantastic little French Bistro. I had the terrine for entree and the steak tartare for main, and both were delicious. Incredible food, great wine list and wonderful service – highly recommend it!
