Came back here again tonight and it is still great!…read more I saw that they had vegetable gyoza on the menu so I had to get them - it's quite rare to find veggie ones! They were so so tasty - simultaneously soft, crispy and full of flavour. Oh and the dipping sauce! Tangy and delicious. We also ordered a veggie sushi roll and vegetable tempura. All of it was fresh and full of flavour! To top it off we received some complimentary edamame beans so you really can't go wrong. I didn't order it this time but I have tried the miso eggplant before and it's incredibly delicious. All this (plus an asahi beer) came to $31 for 2 people - this is seriously a hidden gem on Stanley St. Definitely give it a try as you will not be disappointed.

The second time I indulged and had the tempura prawn lunch box, which is an amazing Japanese bento/tapas style meal. Miso, edamame, mini-udon, rice, salad, sushi roll, sashimi and tempura. It was delicious and filling and $13 for a veritable feast - just amazing value and all so delicious. My dining partner had the lunchbox, which is equally amazing value. The staff can be a little rushed and disorganized - not enough to effect the dining experience, just enough to notice. Super impressed and cannot wait to go for their lunch special again.

Staff at the bar greeted us promptly, sat us down and gave us menus. We ordered the Ckt, nasi lemak with chicken and the ABC for dessert. The food came quickly and was hot (I prefer my meals served hot!) both main meals were actually quite tasty! The nasi lemak came with these crunchy anchovies, delicious and quite special! Rarely see them completely gut the fish and fry them so crisply! Saved the best for last and despite the cold day we had to try the pretty purple abc dessert. I'm not a big fan of yam, but I loved this! Generous scoop of yam ice cream and creamy sago. Yum. Will be back :)

Before stepping into La Grillade it was already on the back foot. During my reservation I'd…read morespecifically mentioned I wanted the 36hr Maryland lamb shoulder. They called the day of my reservation around 1pm to confirm with me that I'd still be making it but later called at 6pm saying unfortunately the lamb shoulder would not be available. Not happy Jan! On the bright side though at least I was still told before getting there. Rescheduled for the following week and with some luck the lamb shoulder was in stock! FOOD Complimentary bread and a shot glass of soup coupled with pieces of soft blue cheese. I wish that shot glass had been a bowl of soup and blue cheese. First entree was the Grilled scallops served with fresh truffle ($26.50). Extra $10 for the few shaves of truffle but so worth it! The velouté sauce accompanying the scallops was phenomenal. Second entree was the Twice baked spanner crab soufflé ($17.50). Whilst the soufflé was soft and fluffy in terms of flavour it was definitely overshadowed by the scallops. After the entrees the monster dish I'd been waiting for was served. The 36hr Marylands lamb shoulder to share ($69) is a must to try if you come to La Grillade. The lamb is so soft and tender it falls off the bone. This is quite a fatty part of the lamb which means its juicy and oh so flavoursome. There is so much meat my sweet tooth needs to have a rest and pass on dessert. OVERALL I loved everything about this place. The food, the setting, the fireplace which creates a warm intimate atmosphere. It made me forget about all my initial annoyances which is what all great restaurants do!

The word institution is bandied about far too often these days (Starbucks is not an institution, children), but La Grillade is fer damn sure an institution in these here parts. The food was rich and wonderfully done: chilli salt and pepper calamari and duck pate with port wine jelly and salted crispbread to start, leading into amazing mains of pork belly with a veal wine reduction - a superb texture combination of white meat, salty fat, and chewy, caramelised crackling - and pan-seared Atlantic salmon which was simply faultless. Dessert was vanilla bean pannacotta with a berry coulis and pear stewed in wine with vanilla ice cream. There could have been more ice cream but really, with the amount of food we ate, any more would have been gluttonous. So I guess it was just right. This was one of those meals had me wishing I'd worn elastic pants. And had one of those sticks with the two ceramic fingers on the end to purge gloriously, like a Roman emperor might.

Four frogs offers amazing crepes that are flavoursome and fresh with great combination ingredients. I had the options of savoury or sweet Crêpe and decided to opt for a savoury Crêpe. I chose ham & cheese Crêpe. Probably the most enjoyable part of the whole experience is watching the guys make the Crêpe on the cast iron Crêpe maker. Seeing the Crêpe slowly start to brown and the flavours wafting through the air in your direction. The Crêpe was generously sized and the ham & melted cheese were perfect way to satisfy any palette. Great representative of French cuisine and next time will try out one of their sweet crêpes.

I had the vegetarian bento kinda thinking maybe I should order more, but delicious dish after dish after dish came out and by the end I was STUFFED. The noodles in the udon were absolutely superb (so silky) and you can tell that everything is made super fresh. The eggplant dish (forgot the name) and the okonomiyaki are a must. Two full meals (with no holding back) only ended up costing us $57, which was so decent considering on how much we ordered. One of my new faves. Highly recommend.

We didn't have a booking and all the funky looking tables out the front were taken. No bother, I was so hungarious that it wasn't that important. Seating was irrelevant. I wanted all their foods. We were seated and given these wonderful little things that was a bit like a tangy salad served up in a tiny dish that you usually use to pour your soy sauce into. It tasted so good that I took my partners one too when he wasn't looking then promptly blamed a mouse. I ordered the gyukushi for my entree and wasn't disappointed. The beef was tender and the sauce was just perfect. Not too sweet and not too tangy. My partner ordered the yakitori - which was equally as delicious. I know this because the mouse struck again when I pointed out the interesting art work on the wall to my companion. Mains consisted of teriyaki chicken and the crispy chicken. Crispy chicken was mine and it really was crispy without being overpowering. I don't know how they do this... I might marry the chef. The teriyaki chicken was just as good. Mouse attacked AGAIN! They should do something about those pesky rodents. All in all, even though we were tucked away out the back the wait staff were just as attentive to us as if we were out the front of the house. A definite must do if you love all things Japanese.

They do great versions of the traditional Thai dishes but also plenty of options with a modern twist. Love the crispy pork belly, tamarind prawns and BBQ beef cooked to perfection.

Oh, and don't be confused by the roti, order it. It's yummy.
