Todays Lunch from home incubated eggs. Had Pizza last night so used the residual heat, a leg of lamb will go in shortly

A very unusual Sunday breakfast for us as we were invited to the La Maison du Patissier in Kawana Forest.
I had the bacon and egg croissant and our host had the Avocado toast.



Very nice.

Getting a table there is like snaring an elusive F redemption ticket. How far ahead did you book?

What time of day does the reservation window open?
Overhyped?

Not flash like the things I am seeing here, but I was proud of dishing this up - my daughter loves fried potato in all forms, so this is my attempt to make it into a vaguely healthy product! Greated potato and egg patties that are fried, with intensely fresh salad garnish - cherry tomatoes, coriander, grated carrot, a fruit similar to mini tomatoes that my grocer sold me (ochubas??) spring onion, and all bathed in fresh lemon juice with liberal dashings of salt.

12:00 p.m.

I don't think it overhyped - some dishes were amazing, others very good but not amazing. The attention to detail in serving is impressive.

Service was impeccable and definitely not rushed, the seven courses plus the extra little bits and pieces took about four and a half hours.

For lunch the seven course set menu was $340 a head, which for me is not something I would do often, but considering the labour and food costs, I wonder how profitable it actually is.

profitable

Add in the likely exorbitant lease

four and a half hours.

Hmm, I think I will need to get some Pizza on way home after 4.5hr dinner

Some dishes from Tapavino.


Toasted corn kernels with drinks, then salmon croquettes.


Peppers stuffed with goat cheese.

Beetroot hummus (with toasted garlic and sea salt bread!).

Roast sweet potato with lubna and pumpkin seeds.

Part 2 to follow.

Barangaroo or Bligh St?

Jamon Serrano, Burrata and pickled onion. This was one of two platters of jamon served for just 5 people.


Kingfish crudo.


Meatballs and patatas bravas

Dulce de Leche tart.

Great food and amazing service. Original Tapavino.

Sometimes the simplest meals and drink s with friends are what you crave. Former next door neighbours invited us over for our regular catch up. Ahhhhh…on their deck. Pav to finish.
