    I hadn't been here before despite living around the corner and was seriously impressed. They had read that I was veg and the waiter had already talked to the kitchen in advance of some dishes they could alter to support. Service was excellent, food was great, lots of wine and non alcoholic beverage options that weren't pure sugar. Lovely casual lunch with delicious food.

    Simply stated, feels like a Bucheon in Lyon, but with an Ozzie accent!

    Love what Porcine does - their attention to detail and laser focus on French cuisine not food trends. Great to have food that is different to a lot of other restaurants and executed so well. Highly recommend the pigeon parfait. Enjoyed a delicious bottle of skin contact Italian wine.

    Authentic french bistro vibe with excellent fine dining. The menu was enticing. The food and level of cooking was highly impressive. Never mind a bad dish, there wasn’t a single average dish here - from the warm oysters, gougere, trois comte plate, pate, turkey farsi, mouth-watering pigeon, and Christmas “pudding”. Some serious, on-point cooking backed up with terrific service in a relaxed atmosphere.
