Crispy pommes frites, herb butter, and perfectly cooked grass fed sirloin. Using local Australian beef and a homemade jus that enhances every taste, this classic French meal is recreated.
Barramundi fillet, delicately crisped, served with beurre blanc over seasonal greens. This meal has delicate citrous undertones, a smooth French sauce and fresh Australian seafood.
Coq au vin is a slow cooked dish of pancetta, shallots, mushrooms and tender chicken in red wine. Deep, soothing spices and careful cooking enrich this rustic French cuisine.
Flaky pastry filled with creamy brie, truffle oil, and caramelised onion. It's perfect as an appetiser or shared platter because it's rich, elegant, and indulgent.
