Becassé

Last Thursday, J and myself visited Becassé. I've been wanting to try it since the Sydney Morning Herald's Good Food Guide announced them Restaurant of the Year 2007 and awarded 2 chefs hats.

Overall, I had a great evening. The service was excellent, the food was good. Justin North's marry-ing of flavours and simplicity despite being creative made his dishes shine.

However, I thought a few things could have been improved. The food served was, for me, not adequately hot. Considering this is a fine dining establishment, I expected better. I suspect our mains sat there for just a tad too long.

The 'thing' that got to me the most was the atrocity of fingerprints and oily finger marks on the plates. A definite NONO for a restaurant of this caliber.

These two issues aside, I really did enjoy myself. Here was that nights menu:
