Food & dining: France in Melba

There are many dishes that are considered part of the nation's national cuisine today.  A meal often consists of three courses, hors d'œuvre or entrée (introductory course, sometimes soup), plat principal (main course), fromage (cheese course) or/and dessert, sometimes with a salad offered before the cheese or dessert.  French regional cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity and style. Traditionally, each region of France has its own distinctive cuisine.

In Melbourne alone, there are several French restaurants that are exquisite and serve signature French dishes that takes you away.  Some has also incorporated clean, modern touches which would remind you of Heston Blumenthal's brilliant methods in cooking.


On this topic, besides other French restaurants we have visited in Melbourne, we love Embrasse Restaurant Nicolas Poelaert's approach to the presentation of food.  Awarded as FoodService Australia Chef of the Year 2011 and many other awards and outstanding reviews  such as The Age Good Food Guide 2010, 2011 and 2012; this is one restaurant you have to dine in.
