I recently had dinner with my two sisters and even though it was our first time eating here, it felt like we were welcomed into the dining room of a friend. The ambience and decor were cosy and warm, the food was incredible (especially the goat shoulder!) and the staff were genuinely kind and cheerful. My new favourite place to eat in Perth :). We loved our experience and will definitely be back.
You know when you hear all these great things about a place and you want to go and have something to have a whinge about. That's what this place felt like to us. So glad we were wrong and we got invited to go there for dinner in the first place. It's a European style menu with dishes from various countries and not just France. The pate' was amazing, the hot honeyed brie was divine and the house made baguettes that went with them were superb. The beef bourguignon was robust, soft and decadent with its silky mash just making the perfect accompaniment. The baby goat shoulder pulled apart and melted in your mouth, along side the pilaf rice and gravy + mint yoghurt and it sever 4 people for $110. The sides of broccoli, potato and sardines were all delicious and perfect accompaniments for our mains. The DJ rocking the vinyl LP's in his corner just topped it off for a fabulous evening. $500 for 5 adults and 3 kids with 2 bottles of wine and 2 beers is great value too We will definitely be back
The perfect example of a restaurant which has a small menu, but does everything superbly - OMG Standout dishes were the house marinated octopus, the chicken liver patรฉ, and the absolutely outstanding carpaccio. Our main dishes were hearty and full of fresh flavoursome herbs and vege. Andl elegant wine list, and expertly made cocktails (all the classics, and the twists). I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes. Perfect for a romantic date night, or a catch up with your besties.
The food was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend any of the dishes. The goat shoulder in particular was buttery smooth and melted apart and the rice underneath it was exquisite. to start. We had the baked camembert. This was gooey and cheesy and it was served a bit almost too well baked so then by the time we actually were eating it it was the perfect temperature that it was gooey and melted without being congealed. The baguette served with this too was a bit thicker and fluffy so it worked really well for the cheese. Because we also had the chicken liver pate Which was also served with a baguette but this one was thinner and crusty which paired so much better with the pate. Upstairs they have two room rooms that you can hire out very small very cute downstairs. They have a courtyard area for large groups. Overall very homestyle restaurant very cozy feeling very well thought of
Had a great night here. We ordered the beef carpaccio, tomato medley with fresh mozzarella, chicken liver pรขtรฉ, and finished with the baked ricotta cake โ every dish was spot on. Flavourful, simple, and beautifully done. The Pinot we had paired perfectly. Warm, relaxed vibe and staff who genuinely care. Will definitely be back.
