It was great watching Justin North on masterchef. Becasse is his famous 3 hatted restaurant in the city and Etch is the little brother but still hatted and lovely. James Metcalfe is the exec chef at Etch and quality local produce is the main feature of this European cuisine restaurant. Really well priced for the city with great quality. Loved the caramel date tart with burnt butter ice cream…yum! Every dish on our tasting menu was a winner...will definately come back.

Salad of green beans, poached pears, witlof, persian fetta, hazelnut. Not a real salad fan but this one was fantastic. The hazelnut puree added a definate great touch.

Spiced Hiramasa kingfish, apple, watercress, bacon vinaigrette. The spice was the surprise element to this dish and really added to it.

Daube of beef, spinach, carrot, red wine jus. The daube was fantastic. Did not need to use the knife at all. perfect!!!

Caramel date tart, burnt butter ice cream, Earl Grey tea syrup. Sensational and beyond words. I managed to have two on the night :) Happy.
