Weekend brunch at Louise is a fun and fairly festive affair .
The free range NT Roast chicken is the star of the show , juicy with tasty yellow fat and very tasty skin , it also carries the hallmark rotisserie flavour profile ( there should be a name for this like there is for wok hei ).
It’s served with a green salad and Japanese rice claypot enriched with chicken skin and chives .

Prior to this the meal starts with a generous quintet of starters . A fresh pea and avocado soup with horseradish cream, Croque Louise - a decadent take on the Croque Monsieur , an excellent pork terrine punctured with foie gras , thick slices of smoked trout on blini , the only letdown was a lobster roll where the lobster was barely visible to the eye or the tastebuds with spiked mayo being the only discernible flavour .

The middle course is one the house signatures, cold angel hair pasta with seaweed , black truffle and caviar . The caviar adds saltiness to offset the umami but I would have liked an additional note of acid .

Dessert on this occasion is a family style serving of Ile Flottante with a choice of custard and toppings , perfectly fine , just happens to be my least preferred traditional French dessert .
