Amaru - Reserva de mesa

Saturday afternoon lunch for three. Short walk from Armadale Railway Station. Booked several weeks in advance but we were one of only two groups dining at the time, so the atmosphere was cozy and intimate, particularly since it was a very cold winter's day outside. Attentive and personable service from the moment we stepped inside the restaurant. Clear explanation of the menu. Our sensory menu included: Garfish with pickled onion,dried duck on a dried carrot, South Melbourne-inspired dim sum, crab with apple ice and crab ice cream, mussels with Kyoto green onion oil, mushrooms and leaves with nasturtium oil, Kangaroo with quince and onion, chocolate and ice-cream in potato, crispy Jerusalem...

Quintessentially Australian and so beautifully international. Saturday night degustation menu at the chefs table and you can get to witness the magical rhythm of the kitchen - assembling, plating, presenting and perfecting what must've been hours of labour earlier that afternoon. Like elves in the night, Chef Clinton and his team work their wizardry, bringing out works of art like the portarlington mussels, the garfish, the kangaroo main, smoked duck, mushrooms with green onion broth from Kyoto and the desserts which sealed our evening with a ribbon and a kiss. Like a dream you don't want to be woken up from. We are fortunate to have tried a lot of A list restaurants through our travels, Che...

I was lucky enough to receive a gift voucher for Christmas and so I saved it for a wedding anniversary meal.What a gem of a restaurant you have Armadale! It is beautifully furnished with minimal decor that is soft and warming and make the restaurant feel very intimate and inviting. Tables are well placed and relaxed and being able to view all that goes on in the kitchen is a real plus.The food was amazing, the service second to none. How refreshing to dine at a restaurant where you can have a conversation but still hear the music in the background rather than shouting at one another. Well done Clinton and team - you should be very proud of all you have achieved.Looking forward to a return vi...

On Saturday night my husband and I had dinner at Amaru and what a great evening it was. The food was delicious. Starting with small bite size delicacies to the fish courses that were light, tasty and well balanced. There was then a mushroom soup that was one of the best I've ever had and then the two meat dishes. Finally the desserts that really blew your mind. Potato ice cream and artichoke chips to name a few ingredients all well thought out and perfectly fitting the ingredients. The one thing that I particularly loved was that most of the dishes were bought to our table by the chefs. It gave us a connection to these very talented people that created this amazing food. Thank you to all of... Reserva una mesa ahora

The food - you get 8 dishes. Most very good, a couple amazing and a couple just good. Satisfaction - I left hungry. The 8 dishes don't fill you unless you have extra bread. This is not the point isn't it? The service - good no issues. The place - a little corporate feel. Almost too much space around the table. Not a warm feel to the place at a winte dinner. Value for money - not that much.

This is a true dining experience. Reasonably small restaurant (30-35 sits) with a wonderful modern ambience and absolutely amazing service! An eight-course degustation menu is innovative and absolutely great and is well complemented by an extensive wine list. We will be back! Reserva una mesa ahora

This was an exciting meal; i loved all the dishes, the inventive use of ordinary ingredients to make the experience extraordinary; carrot/apple leaves- potato desert anyone? The crab dish as well as the kangaroo were exceptional

Total price was $400 for two including a bottle of wine. Food was interesting, and interpretative but we felt that they tried way too much with the contrasting of flavours. Not worth the $400.
