Just 10 minutes from the Melbourne CBD, this sophisticated diner enjoys an uncommonly tranquil spot perched above the Yarra River. Gary Mehigan of <em>MasterChef Australia</em> fame reopened this Melbourne institution after a lengthy two-year hiatus, nabbing seasoned chef Martin Horsley for his grand comeback. A quick perusal of the restaurant website reveals it as a lucrative little launch pad for Mehigan's celebrity exploits (just follow the newsletter to see what TV projects he has lurking in the pipeline), but after flicking to the mouth-watering menu, all is forgiven.
Strong evidence of Mehigan's English upbringing can be found in the exceedingly approachable menu, which features warming rustic dishes such as his famous Sussex Pond pudding and Sunday lunch roast guinea fowl with all the trimmings. In fact, a whole portion of the dinner menu is charmingly dedicated to "comfort food" and "shared dishes".
French refinement plays its part, too, as seen in dishes such as the pressed rabbit and prosciutto terrine and a 36-hour braised lamb shoulder with parsnip puree, but it's the simplicity of the creations that will no doubt have diners' tongues wagging about the flavoursome menu until their next visit.

Hot Tips
De-glazing a pan
Adding liquid (such as stock or water) to a pan where food has been sautéed or roasted will help to dissolve the caramelised juices stuck to the bottom. This is a great way to make gravy as it allows for the flavours of the roast to permeate the sauce.
Glossary
Galangal
A member of the ginger family, also known as laos root. It has a woody texture and is used to give flavour to Thai and other South East Asian cuisines.
