Even though Rhubarb Rhubarb is tucked away in the suburbs, it has loads of inner city style and appeal and a well-rounded menu.

Rhubarb Rhubarb has recently been lavishly refurbished and is looking rather swanky for a suburban restaurant tucked away in the leafy suburb of Woolowin. Owner and head chef Linton Smith has worked some magic in the two small rooms that are Rhubarb Rhubarb, keeping the crimson coloured walls but jazzing the decor up a bit with classy chandeliers, antique smoked mirrors and rich artworks. The overall effect is bright, cheerful and sophisticated; the perfect environment in which to relax, sip on a glass of wine and await a three-course French extravaganza.

The menu is a marriage of French cuisine and popular Australian ingredients, taking the best of both worlds and creating something unique. Taking advantage of the local seafood, start with the pan seared scallops served on prawn and crab dumplings with Pernod cream sauce. Or perhaps the traditional blue cheese souffle served with a Waldorf salad. Next try the seared ocean trout with tarte a l’oingon, asparagus and fennel drizzled in a citrus beurre blanc; or the twice-baked breast of Bendele farm duck, with potato Dauphinoise, wilted greens and blood orange glaze. Desserts are typically French with tarte au chocolat, creme brulee and tarte tatin on offer.

Rhubarb Rhubarb - User Reviews

Anonymous:

I dined here recently with a group of 7; between us we tried nearly all the current mains besides the chicken kiev. The fillet of beef was absolutely perfectly cooked, the leek tart with a quiche-esque taste which was wonderful, but perhaps didn't quite suit the beef however. The casserole and beef in red wine were both richly full of flavour. In fact, there were no complaints at all about any overcooking, undercooking, lack of flavour; although the serving size of the confit duck was perhaps a little small. The sides to share are definitely recommended with the garlic & duck fat potatoes being a highlight. The ambiance was delightful and stylish and the separate rooms structure keeps noise to a minimum. Although lower prices may be expected for the location, the food is worth the cost, and I would dine here again.review 27/08/2008

Loved it! We had a great night with excellent service by pleasant staff who were attentive but not intrusive, fantastic food, for mains we had; the Lamb(comfort food, rich and sumptuous), Ocean trout (fantastic flavours) and the Duck (truly outstanding). My pick of the deserts was the Tart Tartin, however the Chocolate desert was also delish. I really liked the setup with the main room principally holding couples and the second room (that we were in) having the larger (louder) groups. This is 5 star in the burbs, we'll be going back, a lot...review 03/03/2008
