We had a special dinner at Moon Under Water with my Dad a few days before Christmas. After reading John Lethlean's review in The Australian we were inspired to dine. It's not often he scores a restaurant 5/5.
The five courses which included an additional cheese plate, were paired with superbly matching wines. This isn't everyday kind of food. Skilled chefs Andrew McConnell and Josh Murphy cleverly create flavours that most of us wouldn't have the time, or technical knowledge to do at home. Intricate yet seemingly uncomplicated. Our menu consisted of:
- Whipped eggplant, shitake, shaved cuttlefish & crab
- Marinated vegetables, fromage blanc, roast tomato and jamon
- Roast veal, smoked potato & onion
- Fig leaf cream, iced lovage & berries
A calming decor created by one of my favourite Melbourne design houes Project Of Imagination. A mainly all white decor with contrasting black Thonet chairs and lovely soft grey curtains and leather banquette seating.
It's not often a restaurant pulls together amazing food, decor and service. With a seasonal menu, I look forward to venturing back.
