Dinner at Guillaume, Bennelong Point (The Opera House)








..,

My favourite dinner ever - I could not stop raving about the tuna on my Tapas plate - it was incredible - everything had such an absolutely intense flavour - ont of Sydney's Top 10 restaurants last year!! (Oh - and we went to the Opera too - HMS Pinafore!!)

We decided only to take photos of the entrees and desserts as things were very upmarket....we had a gorgeous window seat view of Sydney harbour.

Okay, so my Entree was a Tapas plate including: Basil infused tuna with mustard seed and soy viniagrette, Chargrilled Moreton Bay bugs with chamoula and couscous, Seared Spring Bay scallop on leek confit with Avruga caviar, Marinated rouget with confit of octopus, In-house smoked salmon on toasted brioche with creme fraiche and caviar. Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!!

Oh, and TIm had a proper sized serving of the smoked salmon...

For mains we had: Minute steak of Wagyu beef with Paris mash (!!!!!!) and Bordelaise sauce and Roasted chicken breast with a salad of lentils, speck and spring onion.

The desserts were just fabulous in every way: Nougat glace with hazelnut, almond and strawberry coulis and honeycomb feathers - so fluffy!! Tim had Duo Belgian chocolate mousses (divine!!) with cafe creme Bordelaise and honey tuille.

I think we would have to say that it was definitely worth leaving Emmy with a bottle for the first time - poor baby!!!
