Young Esta took us to dinner last night to celebrate our engagement. Having dinner with Esta is always a fun and entertaining affair as we often try out new restaurants none of us have been before and catch up on all kinds of things.
And last night, we had a lovely French meal with conversations about how Ben should have consulted Esta on ways to make the proposal flawless but we concluded that he more than made up with the gorgeous ring ^^ (Besides, I thought how Ben proposed was super sweet!)
Now, we need to talk about the little French bistro we went to because as you will soon find out, if you didn’t know already, we are super foodies and love to share our eat-out experiences.
Vamps Bistro is a quaint, little French restaurant at Five Ways, Paddington. Located at the heart of Five Ways, its exterior is unassuming yet bold at the same time. The interior is tiny but bustled with energy and the open kitchen added a very sincere approach to the way they make food.
The food was absolutely delicious. Every single dish we had last night was divine but we particularly liked the French onion soup for entree (the escargot apparently was great too - Ben’s entree) and the seafood crepe was gold. Our desserts were also beautiful: Esta had the crepe which she gulped down in two seconds flat (not unusual really but it did indicate how delicious it was as even for her, the speed she down it last night was FAST!)
If you enjoy French, Vamps Bistro is definitely a place to visit. We had the prix fixe menu, which is great value at $45 for 3 courses. We will definitely be back for more, maybe for breakfast next time. Vamps is BYO only.
