PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAIt’s been a long time between drinks when it comes to new dining venues on St Georges Terrace, but when a restaurant of this calibre opens its doors, it makes the wait so worthwhile. With seamless elegance and pure sophistication, The George sticks out like a sore thumb, wedged between high-rise office buildings. The interior is nothing short of breathtaking and has understandably created quite a spot of excitement for those seeking an innovative new venue. Catering for the local corporate clientele, there is The London Room for meetings, functions and intimate dining occasions, the cocktail and champagne bars for those compulsory Friday drinks, and The Dining Room for hand-picked wines and upmarket dining.
Of course, you’d expect nothing but perfection when it comes to food at a place like this and the chefs have certainly done their homework. The a la carte menu starts with a range of impressive entrees utilising the freshest produce like free-range hens’ eggs, sturgeon caviar, warm asparagus salad and pecorino, or the intriguing shiitake mushroom custard with toasted almonds. Moving on to mains, the decisions become a little harder with a range of super-cool creations guaranteed to raise the brows of even the most knowledgeable foodie. Sauteed marron, pork rillette tian and caramelised baby shallots make the most of this much-loved freshwater crustacean, while the grain-fed lamb wrapped in prosciutto, smoked eggplant jam and potato galette is proving to be a strong favourite with diners. An extensive list of local, premium and international wines are on offer and can be matched perfectly with your meal of choice.
