My wife is the best cook in the World but……………………………I think on Saturday, 22 May 2010 I had the 2nd best meal I have ever eaten. Both our sons are great cooks too but we will take their wives to Bilson's to introduce them to another great chef. Thank you for a very special evening with friends. As our 3 year old grandson who speaks French would say: "Tres bon."

took my girlfriend there last night for dinner and the whole experience was memorable..
we had the autumn fine bouche degustation menu with matching wines..
the only thing i did not enjoy was the 3rd course which was a tartar of black angus beef & cuttlefish, mustard icecream and ‘ink’ mayonnaise. the beef and cuttlefish was pleasant even though it was sitting on top of a bed of ink, thinly smeared onto te plate. but for me the flavor of ink left me reaching for my glass of wine in a hurry.. visually it was stunning, one the the nicest plated dishes of the night.. though the ink let it down for me..
apart from that one course the rest of the menu was wonderful, everything cooked to perfection.
matching wines with easch dish was lovely.. we were educated on french wines from the sommelier.. he was very warming to us and told us stories of where the wines came from and a little history of of each wine as he filled our glasses..
overall it was a nice experience for the both of us.

Reemski: I ended up entering =P Thanks Reemski

Jason: It’s on the ground floor. When you walk into the Radisson Hotel from O’Connell St, go past the reception desk and on your right, there’s a small doorway to Bilson’s. There’s a sign too on the left of the doorway (I totally missed seeing that til the receptionist pointed it out to me).

If in doubt, ask reception – they’re quite lovely people and will point you in the right direction =)

Hope you enjoy your dinner here!

Fiona: Hahaha hush… Earl Grey is too lovely not to have with petit fours. I have peppermint when I have an upset stomach – somehow it works! ^_^

FFichiban: Heheh you would have loooooved the chocolate one I reckon. It was so good!

Tony Bilson: Can’t help but appreciate excellent food and service. Thanks to everyone at Bilson’s for such an amazing dining experience!

joey@FoodiePop: Hahah I was really surprised anyone from Bilson’s found this post actually!

LOL! I’m planning to go back to Selah for their scallops – y,know… just for research as I haven’t been for a while. Heheh

*blushes* It’s the camera… was not the afternoon lighting through the windows just gorgeous!? =D

Rebecca @ InsideCuisine.com: lol.. I think it’s just because we’re a bit greedy =P I’ve definitely become a fan of theirs… I really want to go back!

Karen: Tell me about it… Our eyes kept lighting up whenever our dishes came around. Heheh doooo it! ^_^

The Ninja: There’s no such thing as too much ice cream!!! Bahahaha…

LOL! Natural lighting ftw tbh

Mark @ Cafe Campana: I hope it’s somewhere near the top because it’s definitely something you should try soon =D

I’m using a Nikkor f2.0 35mm. Minh reckons it’s a bit soft and prefers the Nikkor f1.4 50mm as it’s sharper, but I much prefer the 35mm because its focal point is not so far and I think it’s sharp enough ^_^ (I know she’ll pooh-pooh me for that haha)

Reemski: I didn’t know about any foodblogger photo competition til you mentioned it, then Howie linked me to it. Hmmm I might enter but I don’t know… they’re not that great though =T

Jacq: I know!! How cute is that raspberry inside the jelly!? When our waitress brought it to our table, without thinking I blurted that out and she kind of grinned at me before telling us about it. Slightly embarrassed, but heck… it is cute so bah.

melina mitchell: LOL!! I know that look all too well. I tend to get carried away describing dishes to people and I get the distinct feeling they: a) tune out, b) are sceptical, c) think I’m obsessive, or d) all of the above. Sigh. I end up muttering, “I’ll link you to the photos… just you wait and see”

D: I know!!! I couldn’t believe it! Do try them here tell me what you think.

Glad to see another Selah scallop fan though =D They were my number one for so long.

Belle@OohLook: ^_^ I’m glad. It wasn’t quite in my Top 10 list to visit, but I’m very very thankful that we went.

Anna: Hahaha if only we could have. The suckling pig from Foodiepop’s post looks amazing!!

You should have ordered everything on he menu

Reading your blog reminded me that I haven’t been there for ages, & by ages I mean January…

Bilson’s isn’t a place that springs immediately to mind as a place to visit, but you’ve turned that idea its head. Seems like you had a lovely experience there (and omg, the raspberry rose dessert…). It’s on my list now

Beautiful photos! My nose almost touched the screen as I was drawn closer and closer through the progression of the menu. And a restaurant that serves scallop better than Selah? This I must try.

Looks as if I am adding another must eat degustation menu to my list. This meal looked amazing. Your photos are really good too. Out of curiosity what type of lens are you using? .-= Mark @ Cafe Campana´s last blog ..My First Post – Steak Tacos With Pica De Gallo =-.
