An intimate French, fine-dining restaurant tucked away on a corner of the ever-popular dining precinct, King street.

The Montrachet is an intimate French, fine-dining restaurant tucked away on a corner of the ever-popular dining precinct that is, King street. From the moment you’re greeted by the friendly staff at the door, you are taken in by the refined atmosphere of this little gem. The romantic wood and brick interior is complemented by the excitable chatter of patrons that fill every seat; their reputation for delivering incredible dining and top-of-the-line service preceding them, filling the venue before you can blink. So, if you’re in search of a meal cooked by award-winning chefs, or a more relaxed space for a few drinks and good conversation – plan ahead!

We decided to stop by for some cocktails, having heard that the Montrachet’s French cuisine is only enhanced by their delicious signature and classic cocktail range. Naturally, we treated ourselves to one cocktail from each menu, selecting a beloved classic, the Margarita, and a Montrachet Signature, the Moneypenny.

The margarita served up the kick it is famous for with Arquitecto Tequila, Cointreau and Lime, which impressed even myself, an avid margarita sceptic. However, for obsessors, this drink is built on a rewarding backbone of top quality tequila, that is expertly mixed and rimmed with just the right amount of salt. If you ask us, it is a cocktail experience most margarita drinkers would struggle to recreate at home.

On the other hand, the Moneypenny delivered a lighter, fruitier combination with strawberry vodka, lychee, Lillet Blanc and rosewater, which was incredibly pleasant. The ingredients in this drink are not ones I’ve faced before, but what a delight they were. The strawberry vodka, lychee and Lillet Blanc married together in such a wonderful way, it was quite the fruity treat for my tastebuds. Additionally, the rosewater added the light delicious flavour it always does, creating what might be one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long while.

The beauty of the award-winning staff at Montrachet is they understand the impact of simplicity. Whether it’s a more familiar flavour combination or something more experimentative, the flavour packs a memorable punch. Their flavourful cocktails are also presented in a wonderfully simple manner, with a nice garnish that lets the taste speak for itself and makes for a quaint cocktail shot for your feed.

The Montrachet on King Street knows what they’re doing with flavours, and this is no surprise given their years of experience. It is the perfect choice for a nice dinner or even a delicious beverage to round out a date night as we did. You will get everything you have come to expect from French fine dining, in an intimate setting that will have you feeling comfortable, cozy and well looked after. We definitely recommend you check out their cocktail menu, and I personally can’t wait to give a few more of their signature cocktails a try.
