Western Australian Marron
“Curry”
Dinner at the excellent @vuedemonde , on the 55th floor of Melbourne’s iconic Rialto building. Vue de monde has been synonymous with Melbourne dining for over 20 years, continuing to present beautiful food that not only appeals to a sense of luxury but also honesty, integrity and an inherent natural flavour.
With a score of 19/20 in the Australian Good Food Guide awards this restaurant is very much the equivalent of a European three Michelin star place at the very top of their game. As far as I know, 20/20 has never been achieved by a restaurant over their so 19 is about as good as you’ll get. Excellent cooking from chef @hughsallen Hugh Allen who I first encountered at Noma´s Mexico popup quite a few years ago. I was terrorised as a little welcome by the restaurant when they demanded that I sabre a bottle of bubbles open in front of everyone. Not my finest hour 🤦🏻😬 Highly recommended

Lovely stuff at @amaru_melbourne in Melbourne. Amaru is an amalgamation of words loosely translating to a “A beautiful place to love”
They aim to provide an experience that is one of excitement, intrigue and intimacy. Located in the inner-city suburb of Armadale with a maximum seating of 34 guests, the open concept dining room offers a beautiful connection between the diner and the creations of the kitchen. And you know how much I love a counter.
They offer a tasting menu inspired by exquisite Australian produce, prepared and inspired by culinary techniques from around the globe in the hope to evoke the senses and challenge the imagination along the way.
The menu is revealed and delivered by the entire team of chefs, waiters and sommeliers who carefully guide you through each serving, which may be accompanied by a variety of beverage options from the extensive cellar or house made infusions and ferments. Highly recommended.

Day 3 of our Best of Spain tour took us on a lunchtime flight from Madrid to San Sebastián. Of course we landed in plenty of time to check-in and enjoy some pintxos and a few drinks before one of the most highly anticipated meals of the tour, dinner at the legendary @ibai.donostia . Not just dinner but an exclusive opening just for us. What a privilege. This restaurant has a lot of history and having been closed for a long time there is certainly some buzz surrounding it’s reopening. Not all of it positive. To the naysayers who look online and scoff from behind their keyboards I would say please go and try for yourself. @paulo_airaudo has done an incredible job of taking on this project and keeping its traditions intact while also giving it a little spit and polish. A quote from one of my guests who is far more well dined than I will ever be:
“lbai: Italian chef, Argentinian owner, out of this world expectations, what could go wrong? Nothing. It was spectacular, nearly perfect. Highlights for me were the tuna crudo aperitivo, lobster escabeche, grilled asparagus (dinosaur sized), sole and many others. Did not disappoint and a must stop in San Sebastián.”
We will be heading back there next year around this time for my best of Spain tour 2025 so please reach out if you’d like to grab one of the seats before they all go!
What an incredible week. The Achefabroad best of Spain tour was a huge success and I honestly think that the lineup was unbeatable. 8 days, 12 amazing restaurants and 11 even more amazing gastronauts. Time to catch up properly with the posts so you can see exactly why you should be heading to all these world class restaurants. Please click the link in my bio to see what other fantastic tours we have coming up (Scandinavia, Thailand & Spain) DM me for more info.

So putting his and @sara.chefa ‘s new restaurant on the tour was a no-brainer and it absolutely didn’t disappoint. In fact, we were made to feel so at home that we ended up staying for over 6 hours.
