ARMORICA

Whether longing for a boozy lunch or a dimly lit dinner feast, Armorica can provide. Located in Surry Hills’ most lively neighbourhood, Armorica dazzles Crown Street with a heaving French menu and a bustling, beautifully designed dining space. Leather booth seats sit below red marble banquet tables lining the middle of the room while smaller oak tables leave space for those dining more intimately. The open kitchen exhibits their chefs working away within their red-tiled confines, moving seamlessly around wood-fire ovens and stoves as they plate up and prepare dishes to be served to their hungry diners. I’ll never forget my most recent trip there, sitting in one of their leather booths, perusing their sophsiticated menu and watching dishes leave the blaring heat of the pass. Waiting patiently for a steak that was to become the greatest steak that’s ever graced my presence (details below). With a provocatively alluring menu of many dishes, Armorica manages to defy the odds of quality over quantity with dishes that are constantly superb and worth a visit. Or two. Or three.
