The Lowdown · AI digest
How we read reviews →South Yarra bistro-bar with fine-dining polish, famed for honey-roasted duck, tartare and liquid cheesecake.
Polished, modern room with high ceilings, greenery and marble surfaces, warm and unpretentious in spite of the fine-dining standard. Open kitchen counter, marble bar and occasional jazz nights add energy without making it loud.
Tableside steak tartare, duck for two, a cheese trolley, kitchen counter seating with chef interaction and jazz nights. A deep wine, whisky and fortified list plus cocktails such as the saffron negroni and espresso martini.
A contemporary reading of European bistro classics with French-influenced service touches, not a strict regional cuisine. Reviewers note classic technique in tartare, steak frites and pork belly dishes.
A premium spend, with duck for two at around $120 and tartare at $39; most feel it is justified by service and cooking. Some mains such as steak drew mixed reactions for the price.
