Bel Mondo

Bel Mondo was such a hit about ten years ago I was really looking forward to returning. I was a little disappointed, not because of the service as it was very good, but let down by the food. I enjoyed the lamb and risotto but found the creme caramel dessert weird. It came with a sprig of lettuce on top and some shavings of celery. At first I thought it was candied fruit, but no, pretty sure it was lettuce and celery. I didn't say anything thinking I must have missed it on the menu. I'm still perplexed as I write this.
I'm not a fan of restaurants that have two course fixed price menus either. Whilst it probably represents decent value I couldn't help feel it was a little desperate.
Belmondo was such a star ten years ago I can't help feel Sydney dining has moved ahead whilst here is a little stuck in the past.

Bel Mondo has an exceptional reputation for exquisite meals and fantastic service. Words can't describe how delicious my Bel Mondo experiences have been.

Another year, another work Christmas dinner.

When you hear the words Work Christmas Party the image of cheap and nasty alcohol, accompanied by sub-standard meals springs to mind.

Bel Mondo is far from your typical Christmas dinner venue. Located in the mysterious area of Gloucester walk in the rocks, this place has a nice balcony that overlooks the harbour bridge. The dcor was quite nice but not too overwhelming and the bar has a nice place to just relax.

The food, the wine, the service, the atmosphere, the view it was all exceptional. We had canapes and a three course meal, and there each meal was delicious. I was also impressed at how all the food came out for once (this is for over 70 people!)

I had a sneek peak at their a la carte menu and the prices look fairly decent, and I would definitely come back here for a meal.

Highly recommended!
