Brasserie L’Entrecote
1047 Pacific Highway
Pymble, Sydney
Ahh Paris - the city of live and some great food! Well if you can’t get there in the near future then pay Brasserie L’Entrecote a visit to live some of the food experiences without leaving Sydney. This place is the real deal in every way.
Wherever we are it’s almost a ritual to start with cocktails. The lychee martini had great flavours as did the
Scallops are a great starter but these were exceptional. La Saint Jacques was seared Noosa scallops on a puff pastry base spread with tangy onion jam and all topped with a beautiful mound of foil gras mousse drizzled with truffle oil. It was an indulgently delicious combination.
The rillettes au deux saumons was another wonderful dish. Made from wild fresh and smoked salmon it had great flavours and came with a beautifully juicy grilled lemon and chunks of toasted brioche. It all combined so nicely.
Duck a l’orange is a French classic. In this case it was in French as La Canard a l’Orange and consisted of a confit duck leg, pomme purée, sautéed spinach and orange sauce. The presentation was again exquisite as were the flavours.
Le crabe facon thermidor was another tasty treat. It was a great combination of warm crab meat, mushrooms, bechamel sauce and lobster bisque that looked lovely and tasted the same!
Paris mash is another one of those almost essentials when dining French. This mash was deliciously creamy and smooth.
Wine was of course necessary, as you’d expect with French food, and the list here is good.
Brasserie L’Entrecote is a splash of France nestled in Sydney. The food is lovely and the service matches it.
We’re already planning our return visit here as there was so much more on the menu that caught our eyes.
