I first heard about Annette Potter on ABC radio on a Saturday morning when she faced Simon Marnie's Chef's challenge. She spoke about her background and passion for food and hands-on approach to her restaurant and came up with some absolute cracker Thai inspired meals with the ingredients she picked. Same day booked for her restaurant with my partner and cousins to check it out. The welcome by her staff was calming and efficient, everyone knew what they were talking about, knew the menus, and suggested the best ways to enjoy. We chose the 5 course chefs menu and were truly amazed at the depth of flavours and combinations. Truly well thought out menu. Annette, has an amazing selection of wines and even a wine room upstairs showcasing some wines you can buy. There's even an art gallery upstairs so you can escape between courses and check out the amazing artwork while sipping your wine. My partner has a dairy intolerance, so we were blown away when we asked about dairy free options and told that the whole menu is dairy and gluten free...what a winner!!! There is even a vegan menu so no one misses out at her restaurant. That's the way all restaurants should be. If you haven't been GO...go now! Lots of special functions and events she runs, so check them out. Apologies for not photographing the first course. I looked away for a second, and it was gone! Yum.
