St Michael 6003 - Highgate

Booked this place for a good friend’s birthday. Greeted with smiling faces and promptly showed to our seats. We opted for the special $69pp degustation menu. St Micheal’s were very accomodating to all our dietary requirements. Everything we had was delicious. Great service, great food and great company. Definitely coming back again!

Not too much to say about this place other than to say the kitchen knows what they are doing and service one can only dream of (and with a smile). Generous degustation menu with Groupon though well worth it without the deal given the quality and attentive service. It just made it better. Each protein was cooked to perfection. Standout was the scallop and pork cheek. Close second was the roast barramundi (pictured) can't get much better than a Barra done with love. Thanks so much to the staff and hope to return on next visit to Perth.

Fantastic dining experience. The staff and service were exceptional. They were all friendly, efficient and professional.<br/ <br/ We had the seven-course dinner and the food was amazing. Our favorite dish was the Scallop and Pig's Cheek. Highly recommended.

Actual rating: 4.5/5<br/ <br/ With modern, minimalist decor interspaced with whimsical takes on pre renaissance religious painting, St. Michael 6003 is a treat for the eyes and the palate, with friendly service to boot.<br/ <br/ Ordered two sets of the prix fixe $69pp menu which included:<br/ <br/ oregano bread butter (delicious, springy bread with the softest flavoured butter)<br/ <br/ tasmanian salmon, fennel, tomato, ginger, yuzu (entree choice 1) <br/ scallop, pig's cheek, galangal, turmeric, spiced cucumber (entree choice 2)<br/ <br/ duck breast, confit leg, cabbage, cocoa, sherry vinegar (main choice 1) <br/ ranger valley beef flank, eggplant, miso, peanut (main choice 2)<br/ <br/ milk chocolate, pistachio, citrus, caramel (dessert choice 1)<br/ trio of cheese, house made lavosh, bits (dessert choice 2)<br/ <br/ The menu updates regularly so be on the lookout for new treats! <br/ <br/ The duck breast and the milk chocolate desserts were the two clear standout dishes; the former with perfectly rendered skin and beautiful, classic flavour pairings and the latter a genius combination of lemon curd, pistachio, chocolate mousse and cake with perfectly balanced flavour and texture. Top points also to the oregano bread and the house made lavosh.<br/ <br/ I like how they are experimenting with the flavours of other cuisines (and maintaining french level finesse in execution) – the scallop and pig's cheek dish had a strong but balanced thai influence which I enjoyed. The Japanese homage with the beef dish of eggplant and miso was a little off, the flavour combinations were confusing and the beef was tough (though this is expected of even a great quality beef flank). <br/ <br/ Great value for money, especially if you have an entertainment book voucher! Will be back on another special occasion to try a new menu of treats...

Now I 've been here on 3 occasions so far in 2018 with different people and all (including me) have been impressed with the food, atmosphere and service. The dishes are varied, thoughtful and creative the same could be said of the wine list. Quality place to take family and friends if you want to impress. I 'd definitely go back as I consider it a  'jewel ' of a restaurant diagonally opposite the Queens Hotel in Highgate.
