A visit to Union Dining in Swan St., with good friends, was a birthday celebration for the Princess and a most enjoyable evening it was, too. The restaurant is European in style and partners Adam & Nicky (from a Stephanie Alexander background) have created a stylish, but relaxed atmosphere with good service and great food. The menu is essentially European and the wine list gathers a mix of continental and Victorian offerings. We started with a Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc - quite light and inoffensive (except for its price) and followed with a Moortangi Estate Heathcote Shiraz - a very enjoyable drop. The Princess enjoyed a terrine for entree, then a slow cooked bunny for main - very tasty! My entree was a Kingfish carpaccio with horseradish cream and green chilli (absolutely delicious) followed by an aged scotch fillet, beautifully cooked. Mains need to be augmented with sides of vegetables which make the meal quite expensive, but no less enjoyable.
A steady stream of Pies supporters walking away from the MCG along Swan St, at what must have been no more than three-quarter time, alerted me to the news of a poor display from our boys in black and white!
