Augustus By Mudbrick

The four of us were seated in the outdoor patio, complete with umbrellas, bricked walls and wall-hanging plants. Atmosphere great - "we could be in Italy" said my friend - and service timely, friendly and professional.

We tried Augustus By Mudbrick for our monthly catch up lunch in Three Lamps, and upon walking into the French bistro, the building was simply beautiful, a refurbished post office from yesteryear. Inside, the decor was chic and elegant with black and white accents and marble tables. The service was very attentive and professional.

I ended up ordering the scampi ravioli in a beurre lemon sauce with roasted dukkah cabbage and to finish off, I ended with a cheese platter with blue vein cheese served with fig relish, honeycomb and an assortment of crackers. All of my dishes were excellent and wonderful on the palate.

To accompany lunch we had an exquisite bottle of Saddleback Pinot Noir from Central Otago and it was divine.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our lunching experience as the conversation flowed, with the wine and it was an uplifting catch up. Highly recommended!

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food - exceeded expectation. The truffle fries are a must!
