The menu: Conceived by chef and co-owner Gunther Hubrechsen, his philosophy of contemporary French food is exhibited in some luscious creations. Seasonal set lunch offerings include starters such as roasted tiger prawn salad, cold angel hair pasta with tomato, mozzarella and Spanish ham or glazed ravioli with foie gras, and mains like grilled striploin with béarnaise sauce or roasted pork ribs with natural jus. With three choices for both courses, they also have a vegetarian option if that’s what you’re after.

The deal: If you’re trying the three-course set lunch ($38-$58) at this steakhouse, it’s obvious what your main course should be. Go for either the wagyu minute steak or the flat iron steak. If you’re not in the mood for meat, you can choose from three
other options, including baked barramundi fillet and wood-fired chicken. Starters and desserts are just as comforting, with creations like cured ocean trout with avocado cream and warm chocolate pudding with strawberry ice cream.  

Modern European fare's the name of the game here, with three courses for $38, including coffee or tea. Kick things off with dishes such as home-cured salmon with horseradish cucumber emulsion, followed by roasted ribeye with glaze celeriac. Desserts are fanciful, including a Calamansi Chiboust (hazelnut biscuit, strawberry consommé and strawberry compote).
