For someone who loves cooking and enjoys food I can say that dinner down at Berowra Waters Inn was quite simply the most amazing gastronomic experience I have ever had.
The service was discreet and professional, the food sublime and the locale, a short stop up the Hawkesbury River, was serene.
Most will remember the restaurant as Bilsons. Having never dined there before but reading the many reviews it appears that the new owners have taken up the challenge of creating something special and in my opinion they have succeeded. Just stunning and an experience to die for!
Opting for the 5 course degustation menu I had finely sliced tuna, pan fried John Dory fillets, breast of quail with l'escargot, lamb french cutlet and finally Wagyu beef. All the dishes had various interesting add ons. For example, the lamb dish had eggplant mash; the tuna a green salad with a piquant dressing.
What was served as small appetisers in between is worthy of mention also. A warm 'vichysoisse' with truffles whisked in - so rich, so moorish!
