Today we hit Marque Restaurant in Surry Hills for Richie’s B’day. They have a $45/person menu on Fridays so we gave that a go (if you watched MasterChef last night, this was the restaurant they dined in!).
The Menu.
This pre-entrée was really yummy.
Tuna entrée was a little strange. The dill overpowered the subtle but interesting spice I could taste and I couldn’t taste the tuna nor the avocado at all (which both had the exact same texture which was strange).
Mum and Jamie aren’t seafood fans so they asked it they could replace their tuna entrée with something else. Amazingly they were happy to change the set $45 menu and offered up this beetroot tart (the pastry is hiding under the foam). It might not look like much but damn it was delicious!
The main. Everyone loved it except for me (am I really that fussy?). I just thought the crunchy bits were strange. Mine was just a tiny bit overcooked but Christina’s and Richie’s were both raw. Strange as we weren’t given the option to say how we’d like our meat cooked (goes to show how hard it is to cook steak perfectly, even for a restaurant of this calibre).
This pre-dessert custard was insanely good (naughty!).
The this massive Jaffa came out.
Definitely different but I couldn’t eat all of mine.
All in all it was fun, something different and great value for $45/head. Apparently it’s booked up for 3 months+ on Friday’s because of it (I’m not surprised!).
