Solo dinner while in Sydney on business.Warm upmarket bistro feel. Classic decor.Service is very good.Menu is one of those where you could eat most meals. I tried the porchetta which was excellent - how they got the crackling so crispy yet light I donât know.Soufflé to start was delicious too - light yet powerful in flavour.Great wine list - enjoyed a half bottle of one of my favourite Pinots.Prices are not over the top and great value.Very unassuming venue for one of Sydneyâs top restaurants (in my opinion)

We attended at Moxhe, without a reservation; on a Friday evening. The cheerful staff member accommodated us with a great table. The food was more than delicious. We started with an amuse bouche and then by sharing three different flavours of Sydney rock oysters, then mussels smoked on a bed of lucerne, then squid in a ink jus, with freekah and cucumber, and prawn tortellini. For main we shared sea bream, with pipis, cockles or vongole (depending on where you hail from) and green vegetables. Topped off with banana gelato and chocolate entremet for the dessert lovers. The menu is based around whatever chef has bought at the dayâs market. Not a cheap restaurant but very worthwhile for delicious fresh, carefully considered food. We recommend Moxhe highly,Hi Andrew!Thanks for your kind words, iâll Pass them to the team. Iâm glad you enjoyed your time with us.

Worth the booking. Immaculate seating, decore and polished service by dedicated, educated staff. The view is the gateway to Sydney harbour. The femme gorged on a doz. oysters, scotch fillet with mushies, bacon and creamed potatoes. I plumped for the whiting with vongole, creamed corn, farro and parsley oil. We shared sheep milk pannacotta with berry sorbet, strawberry, meringue and white chocolate. Order me a stretcher, si vous plais .

Have been here numerous times before but first time under new chef and with new menu. Not impressed. Some favourites have been retired (barramumdi) with new ones such as barbounia and snapper not up to scratch as they were way overcooked. The entrees have gone bland from their previous sharp tastes. Best on the night was the imported baklava and the coffee for which I will go again for - after having dinner elsewhere!

I visited Cafe De France in Coogee with my partner in April 2019 based on a recommendation from a lady who worked in both this cafe and another one on Coogee Bay road. The restaurant is on a back street and there are both seats outside on the street and within the restaurant. Myself and my partner both ordered the Croque-Monsieur, which the restaurant prides itself for being the the best in the world. Unfortunately, we found it to be a little bland and average at best. The waitress was a little turse, too; not very friendly when taking our order or serving us!

we had a combined room/dinner package. The atmosphere of the restaurant was small and cosy but the other people never felt intrusive. The staff were excellent and nothing was too much of a problem for them. Menu was interesting and well thought out in that the portions were such that you could share easily because of the way they were prepared. Also i felt the pricing very reasonable including the drinks.

I was lucky enough to attend a third birthday dinner for Bibo Wine Bar this week. Not only do they have a highly original and unique selection of fabulous wines but these pair so effortlessly with their delicious food menu. Everything is a perfect match.Dinner was a selection of share plates starting with entree style smoked salmon pâté, the incredibly delicious scallop cru & finger lime, runner bean fitters, and the piri piri aubergine and the mouth watering Flambé chorizo. This was followed by the equally mouth watering main size Suckling Pig with Fennel, persimmon & pomegranate. We finished this with a quince & bergamot tart followed my mini Portuguese tarts straight out of the oven. All of this was with matching wines by the glass perfectly chosen from Portugal to Australia. All in all this was a wonderful evening. I would highly recommend Bibo Wine Bar for anything from a special dinner for two to a large group booking for a celebration. Either way you will be looked after and will have a truly special dinning experience.

Thereâs a collective intake of breath in the intimate dining room when everyone opens their menus. Fanning out like piano accordions, each menuâs glowing white light captures guestsâ faces in a state of childlike wonder as they scratch their heads and wonder what it is theyâre meant to eat. Eat the pages of the menu? Itâs rather absurd, but then so is the nonsensical and satirical movement Le Salon DadA is based upon. Being familiar with Marc Kuzmaâs work at El'Circo at Slide, I entered Claireâs Kitchen at Le Salon with a fair idea of what to expect. In this setting Kuzma (who is also known as Claire de Lune) has kicked things up to the next level using a City of Sydney night-time diversification grant. These monies are all about local council trying to restore some of Sydneyâs faded night-time glory, decimated by Gladys Berejiklianâs lockout laws. It's a perverse situation of local government giving what the state government has taken away.But I digress⦠Kuzmaâs resulting night, (which will set you back $140/head) is based upon Cabaret Voltaire, a Swiss enclave of artists escaping the First World War. DadA was anti-establishment, anti-reason and anti-logic. DadA was the antidote to the bourgeois capitalist interests that the artists believed had led people into war in the first place. Following this line, our first course takes curative form as a wartime first aid kid with tongue depressor, bandages and a petri dish containing a smooth French mushroom parfait topped with sauternes jelly. Scraped onto crackers, itâll sustain you through your cocktail construction â the recipe and ingredients are in your bucket.With shiso leaf-infused vodka, nettle liqueur and pomegranate cordial, itâs a tangy, slightly more sophisticated Cosmopolitan with little blasts of sweetness when the pearls of passionfruit and lime pop on your tongue. The rest of your boozing is done in the usual fashion, with many wines - including the 2017 Cave de Turckheim Pinot Blanc ($70/bottle) we selected - available by glass, carafe and full bottle. The fresh, dry white wine proves easy to enjoy through some on-stage art that sees a semi-nude model enhanced with the f-holes from a cello, and some at-the-table card tricks. Itâs a multimedia affair, with German expressionist film, The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (1920), playing on screens placed throughout the dining room. Seen through the eyes of an asylum patient, the film may leave you wondering whatâs real and whatâs not.Contortionist Jade Twist continues our surrealist descent by wearing a black zentai suit with eyes and lips in all the wrong places. Tying herself in knots until she looks like a human pretzel, Twist makes it hard to know which way is up, and which direction way is forward. It's a perfect segue to a course based upon The Persistence of Memory (1931), arguably Salvador Daliâs most famous surrealist work. From the edge of a martini glass, his melting pocket watch drips in cracker form to accompany a well-spiced cold capsicum and tomato soup. Your soup is poured from a vessel that is itself a nod to Daliâs 1972 piece, Marilyn Monroe, shown up on the screens.Itâs this attention to detail that makes Kuzmaâs night so intellectually rich for art-lovers, with clever details like Marcel Duchampâs Bicycle Wheel (1913) in the stairwell on the way up to the dining room. Even the table setting is done in the style of DadA, down to a DadA print cloth serviette. Without wanting to give it all away, the next course â the only hot course - a rainbow trout roulade, is a nod to Joan Miró. Everything on the splattered abstract plate is edible, down to the crisp fish bones.On the stage, the inimitable Shauna Jensen is clad in a thematic âsinging fishâ (one of Miroâs recurring motifs) kaftan, as she belts out Ella Jenkins' Wade in the Water. Jensen returns later in the evening with This Is Me from The Greatest Showman. It's guaranteed to leave you uplifted â from her talented lips the power balladâs lyrics sound inspirational rather than twee. Kuzma has been booking cabaret acts for decades and has a real eye for talent, as youâll no doubt discover across the night.Le Salon DadA is a rich and punny, multimedia experience that will appeal to all of your senses. âJust like the painting, there is no confusion, it is designed to put in your mouth,â Kuzma finishes.Le Salon DadA takes place on Sunday evenings at Claire's Kitchen at le Salon. Bookings are essential.

Light & Modern French Fine Dining, yet with BYO.Could be described as Modern Australian with French influences or Lighter French Cuisine. Quality rather than quantity; starting from the initial bread with lovely olive oil and balsamic vinegar dipping sauce, progressing to the ceviche king fish entre & twice cooked pork belly with well balanced accompanying sauce and salad.My partners scallop entre and duck main were also very good.The restaurant has a lovely relaxed décor, with tables not too close together allowing easy conversation without having to raise ones voice. The wine prices are very reasonable, but if you have a favourite bottle of red at home take it with you as will only cost you $10 corkage.Only minor whinges are that steamed vegetables were string beans only and that waiters were slightly on the under attentive side.
