Answered by: John Tydeman

What is an ingredient you couldn't live without? Chilli flakes or black pepper. Most mains and entrees regardless of the balance and flavours or the TLC by the chef are enhanced (for my palate) with chili flakes or more generally black pepper.

What's the design/atmosphere of your restaurant? Building is a two-storey heritage listed terrace house; well, two, actually. It is Federation-style with exposed bricks, chandeliers, original ornate tiles and stain glass windows.

What should I order when I come down? If you come alone a three-course meal could be deep-fried squid or seafood chowder, barramundi and creme brulee for a seafood combination or foi gras, steak tartare, steak frites et peppercorn sauce and pain perdu for the basic French carnivore meal. If veg, go for homemade gnocchi and a salad. If you are not dining alone, a signature roast is a must. Lamb, ribs, duck or chateaubriand!
