Yesterday went to immigration museum. Bit disappointing. Beautiful old building but displays not well put together.
Buffet breakfast at Grand Hyatt is an event. What to eat is a challenge. It’s not so much that the food is different, but in the quality and service . Although, if you want cake for breakfast, there is plenty to choose from. How about trifle covered in Raspberries.
From the dining room at the Grand Hyatt we watched the line of shopper waiting to be served French pastries at Lune. At least 50 people all day.
Visited new makeup shop Mecca. Not very classy. Service good but too cramped.
Last night well we went to a music concert at the Melbourne Recital Centre. The venue was amazing with acoustics that I didn’t believe were possible. It was the Tallis Scholars Choir. An experience that I will remember for a long time.

Arrived in Melbourne and checked in to Hotel. Went out for dinner with DF to Gimlet. What a buzz. The only booking she could get was for 3.30 pm. Didn’t seem to matter as people were coming and going. I’d forgotten just how different it is to dine at a top Restaurant in Melbourne. The SD bread from Melbourne Baker Blue blew my mind. It was the best I’ve ever eaten.
Duck pate was also excellent.
Oyster not as good as the Coffin Bay ones I had in Darwin.
We both chose the days special of Coral trout with Artichoke. Fantastic.
For sweets friend had a chocolate concoction which she said  was great. I had an icecream which was average. I had a mocktail, not good, just like cordial.  Friend had a couple of cocktails.

No cooking for a week. Probably lots of eating and inspiration.
