The French-inspired CBD bistro, Parlour has refreshed its menu, and it’s all about confidence with a little cheek.
From a reimagined Filet O’Fish to the prettiest new addition to the dessert list, a strawberry vacherin sundae that’s pink, playful, and the perfect finish, Parlour knows how to balance bistro classics with crowd-pleasing surprises. Designed to share (and pair with great wine), this is convivial dining made for easy afternoons, catch-up dinners, date nights, and everything in between.A Few Quick Ones with Parlour’s Executive Chef James Kidman
- What inspired the refreshed menu?
“It sounds corny but I just wanted to change the menu up more often and regularly to meet our regulars’ needs, keep it fresh.” - Which dish was the hardest to develop?
“None really, but probably balancing a menu that can be delivered and prepared by a small team and kitchen is a constant challenge.” - Your personal favourite?
“My favourite dish is yet to come. I want to do a steak sambo with a French twist using a croissant roll and Béarnaise. Watch this space. From the current menu, I love the Sunday roast, it’s a play on coq au vin.”
