There were a few hits and misses for me. Service was lovely as waiters were super welcoming and friendly. Favourite was the chicken liver parfait. It was quite interesting with the jelly on top – nothing like Ive had. The slow cooked beef was also very nice. It was rich and flavourful – what u would expect from something slow cooked for hours. However the remaining dishes I didnt enjoy as much. Overall it was rather an expensive meal for what it was especially the fish.
Nice and cosy restaurant tucked away down a side street off Smith Street. The staff were all really nice and made it an enjoyable evening.
We started with the croquets which were delicious little morsels of fried tastiness.
For mains we got the Oyster Blade which is a 12 hour slow cooked meat which melts in your mouth. As you can imagine the fat is almost gelatinous because its been cooked so long. I think the flavor was Vegemite savory tastiness.
We also ordered the chicken which was nice enough. Cooked really well as in the chicken was moist but the flavors were simple verging on bland. Good thing we ordered a side of fries which brought a bit more flavor to the palate.
For desert we ordered the crme brle which was monster sized! Honestly Id come back just for the crme brle so so good! We also got the lemon meringue which was great. Just note, its super dooper sweet x2, which is ok because I like that. But letting you know in case you dont.
Yesterday I tried the $50 feed me lunch special. It is a shared menu and you get the choice of either a meat or seafood menu option. Make sure you decide prior to going to the restaurant which option you want since everyone on the table has to be in agreement with the option that is picked. In the end we used a coin toss to decide the coin decided that we should have the seafood option.
We ended up getting:
– Chicken Liver Parfait
– Cured Ocean Trout
– Mussels
– Kingfish
– A salad
– Cucumber and grain dish
– Prommes Frites
– Creme Brle
– Lemon Meringue tart
All this food was shared among 11 people. The staff ensured enough portions would be presented of each dish so all patrons could try each dish. I was very impressed with the amount of food that we got to try. Looking back on the menu we definitely got our moneys worth, which pleases me since not all feed me menus are good value.
Drinks are also not included in the deal so you have to pay extra for drinks which is fair.
My friends loved the kingfish the best. My favourite were the mussels! The Creme brle was delicious as well. The lemon meringue tart was a bit too sweet for even me but looked absolutely beautiful.
I appreciated the space that the restaurant sat us in. We got our own private area. Only complaint that I wish there had been better lighting. It was quite dark.
Staff were all friendly. Great experience over all and I think quite a few of my friends will return in the future!
Went to Hell of the North on a Saturday. We didnt book but went in super early so we can get a table. There is a 2 hours seating it seems to be plenty of time.
Ordered a Rhubarb ginger cocktail to start with and it was very refreshing. Couldn’t choose so we had the feed me option and it was quite lovely. Started with cured ocean trout then a cheese snack. Main was fish and Pork Belly and dessert was Creme Brle, chips and salad was provided as well. We also added on some croquette because they looked so good when staff brought them out for other tables.
Overall a nice experience. Portion was big enough but service could be a bit slow may be because i was way too hungry and just wanted my food to come out quick. A good place for date night!
The gnocchi was awesome, but as I had heard rave reviews, I had expected a bit more from the dining experience. Quaint, very Melbourne location.
Was super excited to try here. The meal was quite hearty. The parfait and the beef tartare tasted like it should .. but nothing amazing. The mussels were quite plain. The pork was okay. Creme Brle was good. I have yet to find the best French restaurant in Melbourne
Really high quality and great experience for French food. Friend recommend this place, love the place in a quiet area, staffs are friendly and professional, Given us some advice for food. Nice place and happy to go back.
