Great French food well done by a master. Character filled popular and bustling. A variety of choice with French classics and Australian based variants. Eg Murray cod, Fremantle octopus etc
A nice bistro feel and a little subterranean. Interesting wine and cheese. A colleague dined there five times in 7 days and had not run out of menu options.
Bon choix de vin. Parler français.
We visit for a family dinner on Friday night. We walk through a fully booked restaurant as we are shown to our table. Sparkling Water is complimentary and we order our Cocktails as we peruse the Menus. Our refreshments, a Negroni, Margarita, Russian Spring Punch and a bottle of Chablis Grand Cru “Les Preuses” are well received. Cheers to the Bartender!
Our Entrees are served within 25 minutes.
* Soufflè with Confit Onion
* Escargot with Chicken Mousseline
* Scallops grilled with Spinach and Crab Meat (2 serves)
* Veal Kidneys with roasted Lardons & Champignons
The Entrees were beautifully presented. My Soufflé was fantastic, the large Harvey Bay Scallops were so fresh and the Veal Kidneys were delicious in the Red Wine sauce. The Snails, however, were disappointingly dry and tasteless.
Our Mains arrive soon after we finish the Entrees.
* Coral Trout grilled served with caramelised Fennel
* Veal Loin seared served with baked Apple
* Eye Fillet grilled served with a Cognac Cream sauce
* Cassoulet Toulouse is a White Bean Casserole with Confit Duck Leg, Toulouse Sausage and Smoked Pork Belly (2 serves)
The Mains were good not great. The stand-out dish was the Cassoulet Toulouse, a hearty and meaty Winter meal. While my Grilled Coral Trout was good the fish fillet was not super fresh as I would have expected. We enjoyed our night out and wait staff should be commended for the exceptional service. Thank you La Cache!
