This, ladies and gentlemen, carries a food porn warning. I won’t bother writing much about our second visit to Jacques Reymond in Prahran, as our pictures tell the story. What I will say, though, is that it is easily the best restaurant in Melbourne, if not one of the best in Australia.
We went there for Friday lunch, had the 3 course menu selection (for $65, including coffee and petit fours), and a wonderful bottle of white burgundy – Rully Vieilles Vignes Nicolas Potel 2007 ($68).
If you don’t want to eat here after seeing this, there is something wrong with you!!
