Donovans, St Kilda, Melbourne
We went to this gorgeous restaurant last night. DH went earlier in the week with clients so we insisted we go too.
Decor is a mix of American Coastal and Country with English Manor House. It works really well together giving a very warm and relaxed feel. The toilets were another story. The mens was apparently a golfing theme and very tasteful. The ladies was a pink French explosion -eek! There were pink combs & black hairbrushes hanging from the ceiling. There were Eiffel Towers everywhere and pink pictures of Paris, Audrey Hepburn & Zaza Gabor. Very odd.
The food was incredible. I had the gnocchi - I know I'm predictable but it sounded so tempting. And it was superb. We are voting this as the 2nd best in the world. The sauce of the best one in Tuscany was simpler & better. We also shared the Bomb Alaska for desserts. So yummy.
So apart from the amusing Ladies toilets this was fantastic but not cheap.
