More than its belly can

Chef Jean Francois opened his contemporary French Basque bistro in this sandstone terrace in Bourke Street, close to Taylor Square, in 2006. The terrace was built in 1852 and is heritage listed. Most of the wine on their extensive list is French, with just a couple of home-grown wines, perhaps for appearance's sake. The menu is restrained, but for mine, I would find it hard to go past the Redgate farm duck, with Medjool dates, and a hazelnut & radish sauce for $37.

Bon appetit!

Le kangourou

No, this is not 101 Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris, but the corner of King & George Streets, Sydney. It is not in my nature to queue to go into a 'brand-name'. But, by all means go ahead, if that is what floats your boat!
