What a great little find in Orange! It was tempting not to do a review so we could keep this gem a…read moresecret for a little longer. We visited Orange for a day trip from Sydney and had lunch at Charred. They have a great wine list and a surprisingly extensive Beer and Cider list. I couldn't go past tasting one of the oatmeal stouts they had on offer (it was the last bottle!) which was a great start to our meal. Their dishes are made for sharing and every single dish we had, I mean every - single - dish - was super delicious. For some reason I've found this pretty rare these days. We started with the chicken liver parfait with elderflower jelly and house baked bread and crackers. The jelly paired wonderfully with the creamy smooth parfait. It was also served with some amazing pickles. I wanted to order every single one of the Medium plates but settled for the pork belly and two bone marrows (you order them per piece). The pork belly was tender and delicious and came with a thai dressing that cut through the fattiness of the pork. The bone marrow was delicious, I spread mine on the their warm home made bread. The parsley and caper salad was a great combination for the marrow. For our main, we skipped the large plates and got the Venison shanks which was one of their specials. There is a local venison farm where the venison is sourced. Oh my. The meat was fall off the bone tender. The sauce was sticky and rich. The serve was huge (they did say the main or large plates were, well, large). We also ordered a side of the moroccan carrots which we probably didn't need as the venison was served with roast carrots and roast potatoes... but then we would have missed out on that gorgeous almond cream. We were so full that we had to take some of the venison and carrots home in a take away container (which the staff were more than happy to oblige). We didn't think we could fit any more in, so decided to just order a *few* doughnuts. What a fabulous meal. I was so happy afterwards that I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear. We were seated near the kitchen and I overheard a group say that they came up from Canberra just to try the restaurant. I would do the same! They bake their own bread and also sell loaves to take home. I couldn't resist taking a loaf home, if only to extend the dining experience. We are already planning a return visit and we'll be bringing some friends with us.

Have you ever been to a restaurant that specialises in both Chinese and Korean cuisine? Well Mr…read more Lims Chinese Korean Diner does! My family wanted to take me somewhere special for the start of my birthday celebrations, and they chose this place as they said it is really nice. I have to agree as the food ambiance and service were far above average. The menu is a bit of fusion if you can imagine those two cuisines mixed together. You will see what I mean as I describe the dishes we tried. Orange is a town that in recent years has become a food and wine destination so there is a wider variety of new places to dine and drink. Mr Lim is only one of many new places to try and I can say they would be right at home in many parts of Sydney. My family chose Mr. Lims because my kids love barbecue pork buns , especially my 11 year old son. We all agreed that these were the best pork buns that we have had. The look on his face was worth going for, so we ordered more for him. They used finely shredded pork belly and a very tasty sauce inside. The adults started the meal with Kingfish sashimi, I am not big on raw fish so I closed my eyes and tried it, it was fantastic. Next we tried the duck pancakes a, Chinese style offering, it was well prepared and we ordered a few more pancakes to finish of the rest of the duck. Another stand out dish was the pork mince with chilli and green beans. Everyone loved the flavour of this dish and the chilli did not overpower the rest of the dish. As we were sharing, we thought the portion was a little small but very flavourful. A Korean style offering we tried was a version of San Choi bao, it had pork belly slices,Kimchi and Korean style hot sauce to wrap up in lettuce leaves. It was also big on flavour. They offer Korean style barbecue at certain times as the middle section has the coal bucket grills in the tables but it wasn't on offer when we were there on a Saturday night- call them and ask if you want to have this option. They have an extensive wine list, we chose a local wineries drop Ross Hill Cab Sav, delicious. The children had their fresh made lemonade which was refreshing on its own but with the addition of muddled mint and some vodka or tequila would made a brilliant cocktail for the grown ups too! The decor was nice inside and the staff were friendly, they need a little fine tuning or I would have given them a top score. It was only little things though, like selling something they didn't have on the menu anymore and bringing us things that we didn't order. It won't stop me from wanting to go back next time we are in Orange, I highly recommend it.

But it's worth it, for a special occasion. A good range of ages were represented and plates were mostly heading back to the kitchen empty. That's got to be a good sign. I enjoyed all three courses, sneaking a taste of a couple of the others on the table. Our table, that is. Not the one next door. Although... the neighbouring table was so close I could have sneaked a morsel from their plate. And the nosy parker did seem inordinately more interested in our conversations than those of her companion. That might be my only criticism. The seating position could be spaced out a little bit more. We left in high spirits, with full bellies and lighter wallets. But we weren't complaining.

As we were in Orange NSW we couldn't think of a better place than Lolli Redini. We have been there before and knew what to expect - good service, warm atmosphere and carefully prepared food . They are consistently voted as a top place to go in the area so we knew we wouldn't be disappointed! I have to tell you I wanted to give them a five star because every bite of our meals were amazing. The way they combine local ingredients to create their dishes is truly a great experience. The only issue we had was we were greeted by someone that had very little experience and although she was trying hard to please, fell short in the beginning . We had to firstly ask for a menu after being seated for quite some time then we had to give our order to another staff member because they were not confident that she had filled out the order form properly - and we heard about the evening special after we already decided on what to have. But these are little things and after that the food made up for it . Okay, three courses for $95.00 is okay for nice food, and my wife ordered different dishes than I so we could switch at the halfway point and get to experience six courses each. My wife chose a Prawn Squid Ink Pasta with Baby Zucchini for starters, Mullaway fillet with Leeks and Spanner Crab Sauce, and a Rhubarb Strawberry Parfait. I chose a Broad Bean and Pea Risotto with Pancetta for starter, Pork belly with celeriac gratin and Granny Smith apple sauce, and pressed chocolate soufflé cake with fresh figs. The Pork Belly and Chocolate cake were stand out items for me but all the food was amazing. Please try it. If you go,try their signature cheese soufflé - it has been a standout there for years but we wanted to try other dishes.
