Restaurant Arras

Written by Amanda on February 15th, 2008 — 12 Comments

The great reviews were well-deserved. Due to so many newly opened restaurants failing in recently, we can probably see why Arras delayed their opening date for months. They obviously wanted to get everything right – and so they did!

Amuse Bouche: Pork Rillette with caper puree

“Cucumber Sandwich” Deconstructed

Crab Bread and Butter Pudding (my favorite!)

Salad of scallop and sweetbreads, roasted beetroot

Terrine of “Vitello Tonnato”, lemon and capers

“Steak and Chips”

“Rack on Black” (lamb)

Snapper, honey roasted whole garlic and creamed salsify

Gin & Tonic jelly (Palate cleanser) – another favorite

Banana Tartin, malt ice cream, banana crisp

Yorkshire cream tea (layers of scones, jam, and tea jelly)

Fruit soup, Fromage blanc sorbet, sherbet and almond bread

Highly recommended! 24 Hickson Road, Sydney (02) 9252 6285 (approx $100 per head including wine)

12 course degustation? Wow. That’s a lot of food.

And don’t you mean: “Steak and Chip”?You should definitely start cataloguing all your reviews so everyone can try the recommended places… Thinking of that, is there an actual good public review dining out website for Australia, similar to the US’ http://www.yelp.com ?

being young and living in sydney, i never really had the chance to explore the finer side of eating out with friends. i’ve always wanted to, but i never knew where to look.

now, with your reviews, i do.

and being cakalusa’s favourite aussie adds instant credibility.
i’ll be sure to check this place out. =]

@burnburn -

it was a dinner for 5 people! I most certainly didn’t eat all of that. Though I did “taste” all of it though!
