Guillaume Brahimi brings his French bistro classics back to Sydney
The renowned chef and Double Bay artisan bakery Baker Bleu in Double Bay are teaming up to bring traditional bistro favourites to Sydney’s eastern suburbs for a four-night residency.
Running from Thursday 6 to Sunday 9 August, the bakery will move from its regular daytime service into an intimate French bistro for the evening.
Rather than developing an entirely new menu, Guillaume will revisit the dishes that have shaped his restaurants over more than two decades.
The $190 menu includes bread, a snack, entrée, main course, sides, dessert and petit fours.
Guests can choose from entrées including French onion soup and cheese soufflé, followed by roast chicken with tarragon jus or steak au poivre.
Paris mash, frites and green salad will accompany the main courses, with profiteroles, passionfruit soufflé and lemon tart among the dessert options.
A short wine list featuring some of Guillaume’s personal favourites will also be available by the glass and bottle.
