Review - La Grande Bouffe

We were a party of eleven, half of which were visiting from Paris. Everything was sensational with resulting comments saying it was like being in Paris in Australia. I was lucky enough to try a few things across our shared entrees and cheeky tastings of others dishes but the main dishes I had (and pictured) were:

Smoked Salmon and Dill Baguette
Salmon and Potato Cake with Rocket, Capers and Aioli
Chocolate Marquise with Frangelico Ice Cream

The Parisians did made some comments here and there that ingredients had been added to the traditional dishes that they didn’t expect (e.g. cassoulet) but not in a negative way. It could just be a different region thing. Also, we were a little surprised that, as the chefs appeared (towards the end), none that we saw were actually French but all in all a terrific restaurant and absolutely we’ll be back.
