Baroque Bistro Patisserie, The Rocks

My friend from overseas visiting and thinking where shall we head out for a nice dinner. As usual doing a few search and reading a few review and found this place, Baroque Bistro, which opened not long ago. It is the same owner as my favourite patisseries La Renaissance. It is a causal relaxing style restaurant. The menu has a few to choose from (which is good enough for me to make the decision) There are also daily special from their blackboard.

The complimentary bread with olive oil is served. The baguette is so crusty and I cant stop my hand picking another piece! The ocean trout tartare is being served. It is just so delicious... The main is followed... Duck two ways, baby beetroot, orange sauce. Butcher cut of beef, fries, sauce bordelaise. This is the today special truite grenobloise: whole trout grenobloise. Forgot the name of this dish but it's pork neck. The meat is so tender... it just melted in my mouth! Our side, salad of organic greens, vegetables, potato crisp, walnut vinaigrette. Cannot finish a meal without the dessert, we cant really choose which one to order. If we arent so full, I think I will choose at least 2 of them. The vanilla creme brulee with pistachio ice cream. Once you put in your mouth the first spoonful, you will want to have more!!

The most important of all, thanks for your company to make this meal very enjoyable!!! :)

Bilson's Restaurant, Sydney [Closed]

I am so excited to go to another fine dining restaurant. Bilson's has been awarded with a three hat status since 2007. May be I was too excited and forgot to take photos to some of the dishes! Even though I have to share these lovely food.

We have seated near one of the large window looking out on Pitt Street. We were thinking whether to order the Fine Bouche, Fin Bec or Fine Guelue. Since we are not as hungry, we decided to go for the Fine Guelue. It started with Amuse Bouche It is a refreshing start.

The entree which we have chosen is tartar of abalone and black angus, beetroot carpaccio and horseradish ice-cream & fresh water crayfish remoulade with caviar dressing and citrus merigue. The presentation of these dishes are just so amazing. It's just an artwork before you eat. :)
Our main, hiramasa kingfish with braised octopus, cauliflower and black olives Dry aged black angus striploin 'facon nicoise' Finally the dessert, autour du chocolat and creme brulee with pistachio crumb. It is surely a memorable dinner and surely will go back again!
