Here is a St Germain-inspired bistro with a street-side courtyard around an expansive bar. Highlights from chef Colin Brown are truffled eye fillet, chats, forest mushrooms and cepe sauce; and kangaroo rump with beetroot risotto, carrots and horseradish creme. There’s a nice selection of wines too.
