UPDATE: The Millswyn is now closed.
The Millswyn
On trend with distinct character

A long-time admirer (yet never a dinner) of Lynch’s, I didn’t know what to expect from the now French accented bistro, The Millswyn. With neighbours like The Botanical and Bacash, chef Nathan Johnson (ex Maze Melbourne & Gordan Ramsey UK restaurants) serves up a well-chosen menu, complimented by a wine list full of excellent vintages. 

 
Eat: Johnson’s take on some traditional French classics proves triumphant. The duck breast was succulent and married well with the cherry jus.  The triple cooked chips would give even Heston Blumenthal a run for his tried and tested recipe.

Drink: My request for a French martini, for that taste of 'ole gay Paris', was no stretch for the bar staff.
