You probably walk past Restaurant King 143 every day without knowing it. Its right opposite the Lyric Theatre and its an excellent choice for pre-theatre meals. They also have a four course menu for $60 pp that includes tea &coffee.
Its located just around the corner of Pitt St mall and easy to miss unless you're looking out for the yellow 'Restaurant King 143' sign.
Run by chef Toshi Ishihara, the restaurant offers modern French inspired cuisine with a touch of Orient. The Japanese lady who served us (I think it might have been Ishihara's wife?) was sooo sweet. Best service I've had in a long time :)
Its a cute restaurant and has a very old-fashioned homey feel.
We're served complimentary bread as a starter.
And order complementary drinks to our meal:
We order a Grilled Prawns and Avocado salad ($19.00) as an entree to share. Delicious, fresh and tasty.
I order the special of the day, the Pork Chops with White Wine served with steamed greens ($26.00). This must be the healthiest dinner I've had all week (quite sad actually).
L orders the Braised Lamb Shanks with Mashed Potato ($26.00).
What a find! Its honest, simple and good food without all the glitz, glamour & pretentiousness. I'd definitely recommend it :)
The Good: Great value, great location (right off the corner of Pitt St mall) and genuine service
The Bad: The decor is 'homey' but some might think its outdated..
