Dinner @ The Brasserie by Philippe Mouchel

After successfully finding Jeff an apartment we decided to celebrate with some food and wine! Yum we have so much in common :)

We made a booking at The Brasserie as its so close to the apartment and we don't have to drive... therefore we could drink :)

Our booking was quite late and we had to do a brisk walk to make sure we get there before the kitchen closed.
Their wine menu is extensive and intimidating. Hello $5000 bottle of wine?! Wine from every region and type, we decided the easier way to pick a bottle was from price. Haha. The bottle we picked was amazing! So smooth we could drink it forever. I wrote it down so I can get myself another bottle at hopefully a non *choke* price. Curly Flat 2005 Pinot Nior. Must try!

There was no time to think about what to order! The kitchen is closing! I had the Barramundi.

Pan-fried barramundi fillet $39.00 boulangère potatoes, red wine sauce matelote

Peter was intrigued by the ox cheek and ordered the Beef tenderloin.

Beef tenderloin (200gr) 41.00 with braised wagyu ox cheek, mashed potatoes

And Jeff ordered a steak.

Rib eye (400gr) $42.50 pan-roasted, boulangère potatoes

I know this is quite a popular spot to dine at. Its a very nice restaurant, very impressive for a date or a special meal, but I wouldn't say the food is amazing. The food is good, but not out standingly good.
Me thinks the lunch specials are way better value. More on that on the next post.
