@toriijanee: Despite the pretty poor reviews we did date night at Maison Bâtard, and I really enjoyed it! It’s definitely a very busy restaurant - we sat on the top floor and the tables are all quite close but the vibe was great and for us so was the service. I personally love a longer dinner compared to feeling rushed, and found the balance really good. I did enjoy all of the dishes but my favourites were the crab brioche toast and the cheesy cauliflower side! Their famous chocolate mousse was definitely worth trying, not too sweet at all #restaurant #datenight #melbourne #melbournefood #melbournefoodie
