Bistro Thierry, Toorak

Our mummy and daddy bears were due for a date so we took both sets out for some French food. Luckily for us, Mr D was one step ahead of us and booked in Bistro Thierry in Toorak. Stepping into the eatery, it transports you back to France. All the staff were french and it was very warm and cosy. We sat down and started ordering off the menu since we only had 2hours to eat.

To get the night started we got the Canadian pan seared scallops and found this to be amazing! Supple, soft and oh so juicy, especially with that miso butter!

We got the escargots since my mumsy bear hasn’t had it before. The snails are baked in garlic and parsley butter and the butter had such an intense flavour that I didn’t quite enjoyed it. Mr D and his mumsy bear did though.

Finally, for a freshness of green we also got the crayfish salad with champagne vinaigrette. This was very refreshing and there were generous amounts of crayfish. I absolutely loved the parmesan wafer and everything just balanced each other out.

I got the duck breast with spiced orange sauce. The duck was beautifully cooked, still pink and very juicy. The orange sauce and a sweetness to it, more than I would have liked. Other than that, loved my dish!

Mr D got the fillet steak with fries and asked for it to be medium rare. He was a bit disappointed because it came out medium and was a touch on the tough side. Fries were smashing though!

If you want the souffle, it takes 20 mins to prepare so put your order in once you made up your mind that you can’t live without it. This is a chocolate souffle and it was so fluffy and chocolate-ly. Mr D’s mumsy bear loved this and could not get enough of it.

My favourite dish of the night was the apple tart. This was absolutely AMAZEBALL! Everything about it just blew my mind. Definitely a recommended dish and if you have a sweet tooth, this is the dish for you.

Bistro Thierry takes me down memory lane when we were in Paris and really did transport me back there. There were magnificent dishes such as the apple tart, scallops and the duck breast that would definitely bring me back. If you do come here, make sure you have a booking because it gets really REALLY busy.
