MEREDITHS WITH A CAUSE

It was far too long since I had been to Merediths. But the thought of a special night with a special cause was a no brainer.

Michael Meredith is one hugely talented chef. His food is often quirky and always carefully thought through and delicious. His insistence on the degustation menu was our stumbling block as six or eight courses at night is quite tough when we usually only have one or two courses.

But for now on Tuesday nights, Merediths Restaurant will be supporting the Fred Hollows Foundations through "Dine by Donation" by offering a Four Course Degustation menu (cost by donation only, beverages additional).

So we went to this stunning restaurant last week and had four 'experimental' courses of delicious food. Standouts were the clever play on a Caesar salad and the terrific duck dish pictured above.

The restaurant itself has been refined and I loved the plants, the decoration and the intimacy. A superb evening. Don't miss this opportunity to eat well and support a great cause.
