The restaurant only has seven tables so the staff can look after and cater to every guest. The open kitchen lets you watch the cooks in action as they cook your order to perfection and plate it artistically. We recommend going for their Foie Gras - a seared duck liver served with grue de cacao, apricots, and almonds. Their signature Pigeon with Rhubarb and Rose Puree is perfect for your mains and their dessert, Rhubarb Sorbet, is astounding. Image Credit: Rhubarb Le Restaurant Facebook Page

Bar-Roque Grill
This is a fabulous Sunday Brunch option. Having tasted the fare at Bar-Roque a number of times, I would say the house specialty must be highlighted in their aged meats. Much of the fare is made in-house from meats dry aged, through to terrines, rillettes, cottage cheese - which is divine - to the house charcuterie. Some cheeses are matured in house where fresh milk is obtained locally, from goat and cow farms, then pasteurised. Organic pork is imported from Australia but there are also beef and lamb sausages as options. With all types of sausages on offer – smoked and dried, this array of charcuterie is full of flavour. A warm basket of freshly baked Madeleines with Nutella and raspberry sauces top of the menu. We don’t need to go to France to enjoy such delightful treats. For $14 - the eight madeleines served are top value.
