Wilson Market - South Yarra

The talented team at Wilson Market delighted and pleased with every course. Think Asparagus vol au vent served with Gentle Goat cheese, hazelnuts and béarnaise, Pork Belly with Yering Camembert, courgette and smoked sauce and our personal favourite – Red Mullet with Bulls Eye persilliade, peas and broad beans and to finish, a thoroughly modern and enticing dessert of Fromage Frais, honey, rose and rye.

On a random Tuesday we decided to pop into Wilson Market for a lunch date and shared every dish as we like to do. <br/ First came the Charred Hiramasa Kingfish with lemon threeways- lemon foam and two types of lemon curd (the whiter one being the lemon pith which I absolutely loved! sesame and sea vegetables. I’ve never had sea vegetables before and it was interesting. Some of them tasted like a cross between grapes and cavier. <br/ <br/ Secondly we had miso cured ocean trout tarator, apple chilli jam, aromatic broth which was really delicious but the broth was luke warm and it always weirds me out to have anything a bit luke warm with seafood instead of piping hot or cold. I would like to see steam coming out of the jar as they pour but perhaps this is not how it’s served (and also just a personal preference of mine . <br/ <br/ <br/ Kangaroo Tartare, creme fraiche, radish. It’s been a long time since I’ve had tartare with my aim to reduce my meat intake but when my partner said it was amazing I couldn’t resist trying it. I was worried the kangaroo might be a bit strong in flavour but it was really beautifully presented, the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned served with crispy radish and baguette slices and creme fraiche finished it all nicely. I loved the variety of textures and flavours. Meat dishes are hard to win me over but this was spectacular and a 5. <br/ <br/ Thrice cooked chips with aioli didn’t really taste thrice cooked as I wanted a brilliant crunch but that only happened with some. <br/ <br/ We shared the salt baked celeriac, kale, Caramelised buttermilk and seeds. I was hoping this dish would blow me away but lacked a bit of flavour compared to the entrees. A good amount of crispy kale and seeds and the celeriac was cooked ok but overall tasted a bit plain to me. <br/ <br/ The service was great and I loved that it was quiet for lunch. My partner loved it and we would probably come back and just try a different main. <br/

One hatted Wilson Market, located conveniently next to Prahran Market tempts diners inward through their sprawling alfresco area. <br/ <br/ The interior is equally impressive and sophisticated with deep emerald tones and some very eye catching artwork!<br/ <br/ For a late Sunday lunch we ordered the; MBS 3 Scotch Fillet Steak (w/ wagyu fat potatoes bone marrow sauce $43 and the Salt Baked Celeriac (w/ kale, caramelised buttermilk seeds $29<br/ <br/ Both dishes were delicately balanced and a joy to eat! Particularly the steak, which was cooked perfectly. Although delicious, it was a bit disappointing that only 3/6 main options were available to my gluten intolerant companion and the risotto was unavailable.<br/ <br/ Overall, an elegant restaurant perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks! You name it! Although a tad on the pricey side with a small menu, it's still definitely worthy try for some delicious dishes :

The service really made this experience. Food was excellent too. Thank you to the young gentleman who is the Manager here, he really gave top notch attention. Very pleasant experience. Will be back.

We dined here recently and everyone in the group was very impressed with the decor, ambience , quality , taste and pricing. Highly recommended. <br/ <br/ I've already booked another lunch can't wait :
