A menu listing amuses,hors d’oeuvres and garnitures,in Newtown? Why not? The flavour comes at you hard at this mezzanine restaurant above the buzzy Odd Culture bar,born again as a romantic,paper-over-cloth French bistro.
It never forgets where it is (King Street),as it treads its own path through pastis aperitifs,pissaladiere fingers of sweet onion and anchovy,or slabs of boudin noir terrine with caramelised apples and pommes puree.
That cliche of the 1970s,pork and prunes,gets a playful update with a clever cotolette de porc snuggled in a sauce enriched with gelatinous trotters,prunes cosied up to one side.
Executive chef James MacDonald and head chef Jesse Warkentin are fluent in potato,and the pommes de terre lorette – tater tots living their best life – are also not to be missed.
