A vibrant culinary destination nestled in the historic Rocks area of Sydney, with a menu built on time-honoured French classics, Le Foote features a charming Parisian wine bar, a Mediterranean grill, and a beautiful sandstone courtyard that appears to have been plucked from the South of France with white tablecloths and smart waiters in crisp shirts and black bow ties. Once a sailors’ bar, a customs agent, and a stable, Le Foote has taken over the historic Phillip’s Foote restaurant that was designed by William Reynolds and built during 1838.
Chef Stefano Marano's Mediterranean-by-way-of-Australia menu prepared on an open wood charcoal Josper grill, borrows from the cuisines of Greece, Southern Italy, Spain and the South of France, with a menu is built on the canon; escargot dripping in garlic butter, plateau de fruits de mer, grilled rock lobster, steak frites and French onion soup with that bronzed, blistered cap of cheese. Chunks of baguette, smeared thick with funky, salty butter. A salade Lyonnaise that respects the ratio of egg to lardon. Not the forget Beef Tartare with parmesan, capers and egg, fleshy barramundi in charred hazelnut butter, marbled tomahawk steaks, juicy tomato picante prawns, and a luscious Cheese Gratin.
And, naturally, an impressive array of wines that span both Old World and New World styles, ranging from classic European wines to a new generation of Antipodean wines, with with Artist Allie Webb's signature charcoal works dress the walls, candles are dotted on each table, and jazz played in the background.
