Location: 78 Williams Road, Prahran, Victoria 3181
It was my birthday and my girlfriend booked this place one month in advance to celebrate the occasion. We took number 6 tram from Prahran Station and then alighted at Stop 35. After a short walk, we were greeted by the following scenery:
 |
| Very big and old school! |
 |
| Big oak door which looked like it was closed. But the waitress opened the door immediately when we tried to open it. I suspect they have some form of camera. |
 |
| Artistic view in restaurant. |
 |
| Warm bread with butter! I only had one piece cos I wanted to enjoy the rest of the dishes! |
 |
| Red wine was better than the sweet riesling. |
After ordering a wonderful red wine and a sweet wine, we proceeded to order the full set menu which had heaps of food!
a) Grilled Scampi, Salted roe, saltbush
b) Scallop, Thyme and brown butter
c) Purple Taro, Feta
d) Kangaroo and pepper berry sable
e) Fried Duck tongue with bamboo salt
 |
| The scampi was really delicious! The tongue was pretty salty for me. |
The above came as a whole. The rest of the dishes came one at a time and we were so tired after the whole dinner because it lasted for nearly 3.5 hours before all the dishes were served!
1) Murray Cod, Spanner crab, smoked soured cream
 |
| The cod was a tad too dry for me. But the sauce was pretty good. |
2) Broad beans, cured pork fat, abalone, sardine dressing
 |
| This is my favourite dish. Love the abalone. |
3) Gippsland rabbit, dried mustard leaf, turnip
 |
| The rabbit that tastes like chicken to me. |
4) Lamb sweetbreads, dried garlic and miso, radicchio
 |
| The purple thing is really quite weird. |
5) Cape grim short rib, preserved plum, horseradish
 |
| The meat is sooooooooooo soft! |
 |
| Eating this together with the meat above is heavenly! |
6) Tete de moine (Cheese), lily pilly jam, stout and gingerbread
 |
At first glance, it looks like cauliflower snow fungus. We were really surprised that it was cheese and it goes really well with the bread! |
7) Yogurt Sorbet, blood orange, beetroot homeycomb
 |
| The honeycomb sticks to your teeth when you bite on it. Its a bit too sweet for me though. |
8) Blueberries, vanilla, whipped caramel
 |
| Blueberries were so fresh and awesome! |
9) Tea and petit four
 |
| The peppermint tea was really nice but the camomile tea that I ordered was just normal ... |
 |
| a nice touch of strawberry ice cream and chocolate and a happy birthday set of wordings. I think we were too full to appreciate the food properly... |
Damage: 372 AUD for 2 pax + wines, which is not a cheap price to pay for fine dining. But then considering the food that were served and the length of the service. Its still quite worth it. I enjoyed it very much and it was something different from the dinners that we had. And yes, they accept AMEX with no service charges!
