Out & About: Maze comes to Melbourne

I have been lucky enough since moving to Melbourne to have experienced some of the cities most amazing restaurants, simply because my workplace happens to be full of foodies who love a good team lunch. So when it was announced that next on the list was Gordan Ramsay's latest addition I was stoked to say the least...

We were treated to four delicate courses, along with beautiful wine and great service. This was actually our longest lunch sitting to date - almost 4 hours of culinary heaven! Highlights for me were definitely the beetroot with goats curd and Claire's ox cheek (I got the lamb and had total food envy), i finished on the broken carrot cake which was divine.

Marinated beetroot with goat’s curd, cabernet sauvignon vinaigrette, toasted pine nuts

Seared yellow fin tuna, white radish, yuzu, enoki mushrooms, black garlic

Jerusalem artichoke velouté, southern rock lobster and green beans

Pan roasted barramundi, butternut squash, compressed cucumber, pumpkin seeds

Seared leg of rabbit, jicama, green olive, almond and brown butter vinaigrette

Lamb cannon and shoulder, cauliflower purée, anchovy, stinging nettles

Ox cheek caper and raisin, carrots, horseradish pomme purée

Chocolate cremeaux and banana bread, salted macadamia nuts, pearl barley ice cream

Exotic fruit vacherin, passion fruit and banana sorbet

Broken carrot cake, candied walnuts and olive oil gelato

As you can see the portion sizes are quite small, but what they lack in size they certainly make up for in deliciousness. Highly recommended you give this place a try if you are lucky enough to live in beautiful Melbourne!
