Lunch @ 268 on Toorak

Lunch @ 268 on Toorak
The renovations are finally complete and 268 on Toorak has quietly reopened and we're back to see how the old Les Boucheries Parisiennes has scrubbed up.
As we mentioned on the last post - the same team remains but they have the opportunity to better utilise the restaurant space. Upstairs is now the restaurant proper while downstairs is a more casual eating space - the leather banquettes remain, but they are joined by low tables and casual leather cubes. When you consider its position just opposite the Como center, this change makes sense as does the new menu which has a focus on shared dishes.
As it's a lazy saturday and with so many new dishes on the menu, we've foresaken any decision making and put ourselves in Chef Paul's hands.
We begin with charcuterie
