It's easy to walk past the unassuming entrance to this new dining mecca. If you descend the stairs into the basement, you'll see a u-shaped timber bar with hanging glass racks in a large room with a wall of boutique wines on the far side. The menu balances 'wow' elements like using truffled cauliflower puree and Jerusalem artichoke fricassee with Coffin Bay oysters, although there are still more traditional options like roasted beef fillet. The friendly and knowledgeable stewards seem to know all about their menu and much of the wine selection, and answer even the simplest question without a hint of pretension. Make sure you've got room to try the steamed quince pudding with vanilla bean and quince syrup ice-cream. There are more than 600 different wines to choose from, and all wines are served in Riedel glassware. The Wine Underground is a retailer, so the prices listed are to takeaway. Consuming any wine purchased on the premises attracts a corkage charge. The coffee can be excellent, but varies in quality.

Hot Tips

Fresh pasta

Fresh pasta shouldn't be cooked to the 'al dente' stage. As it is egg based, it needs to be well cooked and not have any resistance when you bite into it but be silky smooth.

Glossary

Kadhai

A round bottomed cooking pan similar to a wok. It is a versatile pan used for everything from deep frying, stir frying, steaming and of course curries.
