Highly Recommended, the purchase of a ‘Gift Voucher’ for use at the Tallwood Restaurant for that special person.

Tallwood Restaurant – Owner and Executive Chef, Matt Upson

Some very dear guests visiting Mollymook and staying at the Mollymook Beach Waterfront accommodation became aware of my wife’s recent 70th birthday and graciously purchased a ‘Gift Voucher’ for use at the Tallwood Restaurant, one of, if not their favourite restaurant on their annual visit for holidays each January into this beautiful area.

On their card they wrote: “To the wonderful June, a little something to keep the birthday celebrations going”.

June was overwhelmed, she responded “what gift voucher could you give to someone that would be so useful, appreciated and enjoyed, as an evening at the Tallwood Restaurant.

We waited for the January Holiday rush to subside and then chose a carefree evening to savour the Tallwood Restaurant delights. For starters we chose ‘House sourdough and accompaniments’ an easy choice to enjoy with a recommended Pinot Gris wine. Then the servings began. a) One of our favourites throughout the years since Tallwood opened is their ‘Portuguese fish cakes with saffron mayonnaise. We love this dish, so tasty! b) The twice cooked Duck leg followed with chilli vinegar, fragrant salad was mouth watering, so tender, the only way to serve duck in our opinion. c) Next we chose the market fish of the day, accompanied with eggplant, pomegranate, lemon, sumac. So tasty, the flours that accompanied the fish were nothing short of amazing. d) We were already fully satisfied, the servings had been very generous, nonetheless as is my custom I had another dish on order. It was the beef rump with mushrooms ragout, silver beet and kipfler chips. Fabulous! The beef so tender and the accompaniments along with beans, broccoli, ginger and garlic filled with flavour.

Highly recommended should you be looking to give a gift to someone special that will be truly appreciated.
