Eat Drink Man Woman

Since Tigi has been born it has been hard for Nick and I to find time to enjoy each others company without distraction (not that we would wish for it to be any other way!), therefore I have recently introduced, Sexy Night. Sexy Night occurs once a week and starts with a couples workout with our personal trainer, Margie at Vibes fitness and is followed by a nice dinner somewhere on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy.  Usually we reward ourselves with a pasta at Mario's but tonight I thought we would try Eat Drink Man Woman.

I am so excited to be living in Collingwood at the moment because I only need to step out the door and I discover a new restaurant opening at least once a month around here.

It is getting late so just a quick review but I wanted to do it whilst it was fresh in my mind.

The place looks amazing, so stylish, I love the blue tiles and the long marble bar that stretches the length of the restaurant and is so wide it acts as both a benchtop for the chefs to cook and a bar for patrons to eat whilst they watch their next cours cook in front of them.  

We ate beautiful, tender, char-grilled octopus with potato and green olives to start followed by a delicious serve on beef ribs with a luscious, thick barbecue sauce and a half a  juicy char-grilled chicken with smoked pimento, and preserved lemon served with a shared side of Vietnamese coleslaw.  Everything was delicious and highly recommended.

The service was perfect and the wine list is uncomplicated and well thought out.  Prices are very reasonable, For dinner you are looking at around $15 for an entrée around $23 for a main an $5 for a side.  I would recommend getting one side each as I didn't want to share the Vietnamese coleslaw.

The breakfast menu and bar snacks also look really appetising but I haven't tried them yet.

Eating at Eat Drink Man Woman made me very proud to be a Melbournian!
