Mon Ami

The French cuisine is creative and rich, delicate in nature and next to the Japanese, it is probably the most recognise cuisine where you can feast on not only the full 3 course but starting with wine and ending with coffee and feel just right.

After a really long week at work, we went to Mon Ami (My Friend), a little cosy french restaurant in fitzroy apparently well known for their duck where they've sold over 6000 ducks. We did have the duck...but first, we started with the Souffle.

Twice baked cheese souffle, baked once, then turned upside and re-baked over a cheese and sun-dried tomato

To follow...

Brelleux
- Double roasted chicken breast with truffle mushroom porcini. I must say, the duck is very well cooked, medium so it's pink inside but with a nice crisp skin.

Cassis
- Grilled duck breast with game sauce and raspberry
This was absolutely lovely. Although usually tart, the plump berries provided such a sweet rice flavour to the game

And finally...

The Mocha Pot
Dark chocolate and coffee creme brulee topped with kahlua and cream

Tarte Tartin
The traditional French upside down apple cake served with creme frais

The dessert is usually the highlight but I think at for Mon Ami, their duck reigns supreme.
