We shared a mussel and laksa half kilo to start ($185), and the mussels were perfectly cooked and tender in a lightly curried lemony broth. The chips were crisp and went perfectly with the mayo and ketchup. The large piece of fresh brown bread was almost overkill as we were already getting full.
If you are not a mussel fan there are a great selection of alternative starters including parma ham wrapped endive au gratin, a huge charcuterie plate, steak tartar and chevre tart.I would happily come back here just for the starters.
For mains we had the half meter sausage and mash, and the spiced guinea fowl pie(both $190). The sausage is huge and the creamy mash a generous helping. The pie has perfect pastry, crisp on outside and juicy inside, covering a huge mound of lightly spiced slighlty gamey meat, served with a mushroom veloute.
I had a Gouden Carolus beer($85) to go with the sausage and it's deep rich flavour ws better than any wine for this type of food.
Our server, Sudeep, did a great job.
With a rather overpriced coke the total bill was $821, and I look forward to coming back soon.
