My first visit to The Green was an experience that left me both intrigued and slightly underwhelmed. Opting for the $60 banquet, I found it to be a solid deal, offering great value for the price. As someone with a partner who is Lebanese, I was eager to explore the menu, which features Lebanese dishes, but changed to appeal to the Australian crowd. The flavours were nice, and the meal was enjoyable overall. However, the service left something to be desired. It felt a bit off, with a noticeable lack of enthusiasm from the staff upon our arrival and during the ordering process. Despite this, I will definitely be returning to The Green.

About the restaurant
HIKARI, the MOONLIGHT
Hikari’s menu is inspired from “izakaya”, the traditional Japanese pub. We put a twist on izakaya dishes so be enjoyed not only with Japanese Sake but with great Australian wines as well. All Hikari dishes are designed to be shared or be enjoyed individually.

About the restaurant
Montrachet at Bowen Hills, is located on King Street. Large windows enclose a lavishly furnished space, creating
intimacy for a world of luxury inside; white tablecloths, silver cutlery, rich timbers and a well-stocked bar and cellar are all redolent of a charming Parisian brasserie and perceptive waitstaff are attentive in fulfilling culinary desires.
Stepping into Montrachet is like stepping into a Parisian bistro. From the burgundy leather banquet that runs the length of the room, to the marble comptoir (bar), Montrachet oozes elegance and charm. Traditional overtones and design are accompanied by Laguiole cutlery, monogrammed crockery and the finest glassware. French antiques, metal pastis signs and gilt framed mirrors create an ambience perfectly complimentary to the French cuisine of executive chef and owner Clement Chauvin is famous for.
