French appetite
To round off my birthday weekend I was taken for a delicious birthday lunch at Bistro Guillaume at Crown Perth by my godparents.
It was my second time dining at Bistro Guillaume and the first time during the day which brought a bright fresh atmosphere. It was great to have a reason to dress up and it was nice to see lots of families enjoying celebratory lunches as well.
I started the lunch with a French pinot noir and ended it with a latte which was much needed after all the food!
For entree I decided to try the option on the Black Truffle Menu – Donnybrook marron with octopus and truffle carpaccio, finger lime, juniper, radish and kale.

Other entrees on the table…
Cheese souffle
Leeks with jamon, slow cooked egg and mustard seed vinaigrette
For main I had confit duck with peas, speck and shallot. Can you believe out of all the photos I took I forgot to take one of my main! My partner had the main on the truffle menu which was a wagyu short rib.

Here’s what everyone else ate.

Rack of lamb with eggplant, carrots and salsa verde
For dessert I couldn’t go past the creme brûlée. Smooth, creamy and delicious, it didn’t last long enough. It was accompanied by mini donuts and apple sorbet.
