There
is something Shakesperean about the rivalry between the North and South of
Melbourne. Franco Choo's is like a charming Romeo sneaking over the river to
Prahran aka Capulet’s balcony and wooing Southies with homely cuisine,
mismatched plates and a level of intimacy not usually found off Chapel Street. So
if you ignore the whole dying part this analogy is rather romantic and PS
aspiring Romeos out there, this candle-lit modestly sized venue is also perfect
for date night.
On
Tuesdays, which I have affably termed Choos-days, there are 2 courses and a
glass of Vermentino or Dolcetto available for $38. You can also get another
course for $10 (who did that? ME. And yes I’d let the whole table watch me eat dessert
again, no regrets). The menu changes regularly dependent on seasonal produce
and whim.
Squid
ink risotto, roast pork belly with mashed potatoes & vanilla panna cotta.
The
food is delightful – “so get chewing/choo-ing.” – DD; 2012.
