George Street Quarter


Nice bistro-like place on George Street in Perth. Advertised as "Modern Australian". Limited menu, but of the 3 dishes we tried, 2 were great.

The starter was pretty darn amazing with a a wide variety of texture and taste. "Falafel, ash goats cheese, pickled turnip, beetroot hummus, parsnip lonzino, lavosh". The beetroot hummus was especially interesting and nice.

The beef was ok, not great after the revelation that was the starter. Basically a beef brisket braise. But it does have a unusual undertone - I'm betting it is marmite or one of its relatives.

Lastly, the dessert was very nice too. A sweet savory sponge-like cake with chocolate and vanilla sauce and ice cream. It even went well with the one or two basil leafs that went on top.

The front staff were Aussie, but the 3 kitchen staff in the smallish kitchen looked Chinese. The menu has hints of Singapore/Malaysia.

Photos pretty poor, but never mind...
