Ecco Bistro

Although I’m now two weeks into a new job, I can happily report that I’m still included in the monthly wining and dining nights that my former manager and colleagues would catch up for.  We take turns picking out a new restaurant to try and make a night of it.  This time, on my suggestion, we went with Phillip Johnson’s E’cco Bistro, a well known bistro that serves Modern Australian cuisine.  Certainly no newcomer to the scene, Ecco has been around for twenty odd years and has won a slew of Restaurant of the Year awards.  You’ll have to excuse the shitty iPhone quality pictures of the meals which really don’t do them justice.

Grilled quail, salad of orange, witlof, bocconcini & pecan dressing.

Barramundi, pommes écrasée, warm aioli, cornichons, caperberries & shallots.

Flourless chocolate cake, praline mascarpone & hazelnut toffee

I’ve been once before to Ecco a couple of years ago and upon returning, I wasn’t disappointed.  The standard of the service was excellent and the quality of the meals is reflected in the freshness of the ingredients, its professional presentation and incredible taste.  I could happily come back another time and try a different main and if it wasn’t a school night, I wouldn’t mind hitting up the well stocked Ecco Bar next door too.
