Owner's note	Colin Fassnidge’s Nose to Tail Food Philosophy and his dedication for sourcing the best local ingredients translate wonderfully onto the plate with the ease and maturity. This way of thinking has seen him turn any cut of meat or fish into a beautifully inspired dish; achieved purely with a perfect harmony of unique multiple flavors.

Reviews & Notes	"Mains are big on flavour and high on style ... So far, t's not sure if it's a pub or a restaurant. But given that this sort of hard working food normally comes with a higher price tag and less fun; here's to having one just like it on every corner."
Reviewer	Terry Durack - Sydney Morning Herald 11/8/15 15/20
Reviews & Notes	"... flavoursome, technique-driven dishes. ... There’s a burger and fries ($19) or steak frites ($26); then there’s a caviar and oyster bar. What the working-class Paddington folk of yesteryear would think of caviar at $370 for 50g is anyone’s guess."

Reviews & Notes	"... riffs traditional French haute cuisine wqith luxe ingredients" - 23 Aug 2014; "Flying in the face of just about every noisy/shared/smoked/ on-trend direction in contemporary eating-out, Guillaume’s point of difference is its stoic adherence to the values of classic European dining" 25/8/15
Reviewer	John Lethlean - The Australian
Reviews & Notes	“Brahimi makes no bones about the restaurants top-tier status (four courses is $135 not including wine) but Sydney needs its splurge places and this is, undoubtedly, the place to come to."
Reviewer	Amy Harris - Sunday Telegraph 2/11/14
Reviews & Notes	"French based, produce-inspired, with the odd flourish of contemporary thinking to keep things lighter."

Owner's note	Some dishes have become faithful standards on our menu, such as the Fettuccine al Tartufovo, a now world-renowned dish that has been described by Italy’s Grazie magazine as, “the best pasta in the world”. Another Buon Ricordo classic is Bracioletta Reginaldo, named after one of our most regular customers, a dish of crumbed veal rolled with spinach and parmesan and grilled.
