Amaru Armadale

Amaru has always had a distinctive style . Native and foraged ingredients, light sauces, sustainable , expert level cuisson . It is really the only fine dining venue that I feel compelled to visit when in Melbourne .

some of the highlight components were

- bunya nut tofu , perfect texture and the nut flavour was pronounced .

- Mud Crab with zucchini chawanmushi was the dish of the night , layers of zucchini studded the dish, particularly taken with the chawanmushi and the zucchini ponzu

- The cooking of both the WA Marron and the Jurassic quail was faultless

-The final dessert with a koji and Davidson plum ice cream and rainforest cherries was utterly brilliant and definitely my front runner for dessert of the year .

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.
