UPDATE: Chester White has been transformed into an exciting new venue, Orto Kitchen & Garden.
Chester White
A neighbourhood bistro full of surprises
The first floor Burwood Road venue played host to the March Age (Melbourne Magazine) Reader dinner event with Executive Chief Simon Arkless (ex Comme) guiding us through the five course French and Spanish influenced degustation.
Eat: The vast deck overlooking neighbouring The Undertaker made for an idyllic spot to enjoy the vista of Hawthorn and the evening's canapes, baked medjool dates with pickled chilli, wrapped in blue cheese and jamon, all washed down with a glass of the house bubbly.
Nothing beats the flavours of good quality seasonal food and the heirloom tomato salad delivered just that. The roast lamb was not at all sheepish and the coeur a la creme, French for 'heart with cream' for those playing along at home, proved a savoury surprise (both dishes can be found on the regular menu).
