Woodland house (Prahran - Melbourne) 03/2018

Always elegant, decor is restrained and pleasant, we've eaten here a few times, in 2014, http://1001dinners.blogspot.com.au/search?q=woodland+house and 2015, http://1001dinners.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/woodland-house-prahran-032015.html

Table settings are simple, glassware and cutlery excellent quality.

Grilled scampi, salted roe, saltbush

Mussels and foie gras

Purple taro feta

Wallaby and pepper berry sable

Spiced sweetbreads with bamboo salt

Unfortunately the sweetbreads were lost with the thick breading and the coriander.
Spanner crab, tomato, kohlrabi, pomelo

Salt baked onion, grilled abalone, smoked oyster

Bread, which was very moorish, was served frequently.

Cape Grimm beef, buttered potato, radish and black salt

It's in there!

Comments: Every dish was a joy to behold, beautifully presented, however some of the taste combinations left a lot to be desired. For me there was a tendency to use too many ingredients and sometimes to overwhelm what should have been the hero of the dish.
