Aja Restaurant

We started with kingfish and the ravioli. The kingfish was a delightful explosion of flavour and the pumpkin ravioli was simply sublime, with the buttery saltiness perfectly offsetting the sweetness of the pumpkin. The barramundi was decent, the beef cheeks were a slight disappointment as the jus was thicker than it needed to be and the meat didn’t quite fall apart. The “profiteroles” were where it all came crashing down for us - I am not even sure that it was choux pastry, it was seemingly a hybrid of a macaroon and a cookie with an uninspired chocolate sauce(just choc syrup I think), fresh cream and coconut ice cream. There was nothing at all culinarily skilful about it that warranted its price. Decent ambience, hospitable staff. Perhaps we chose the wrong dessert? I don’t like giving bad reviews, I am sure they can do better.

We went there just passing 9.10pm. they still allowed us to come in and enjoy the mouth watering dessert we were after. Couldn't enjoy dinner as we didn't plan for it. But surely will do next time. Got the Cream brulee which was Amazing .. and one other. See my pics I didn't get the name. But it's soft cream really light, with valinna ice-cream layed on-top of chocolate layer and with eclair like biscuit. Wonderful experience.

The most amazing dinner that I have had in a very long time! A delicious Menu, fantastic staff, just a gorgeous restaurant! I often don't eat everything off my plate but I did it at Chez Bagou. The hardest part was trying to decide what we all wanted! Guess that means we'll have to come back! All 4 of us could not stop talking about it! Thank you for bringing a little French to Melbourne! P.s. Enjoy your break :-)
