Food
Master saucier and chef Michael Broughton creates classic French country fare, from slow-roasted pork belly to sous-vide lamb. A commitment to ‘terroir-driven’ food shows in the provenance of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, from asparagus and artichokes to wild mushrooms and truffles. At Terroir the fare is elaborately crafted but deceptively simple on the palate. No short cuts are taken in the kitchen, from the sublime sauces to the hand-rolled ravioli and signature prawn and mushroom risotto. Broughton’s signature lies in simplicity, subtle combinations and a healthy respect for the delicacy of seafood, which elevate and transform the natural flavours of fine ingredients.
Wine
