Restaurant Review – Estivo (Kew VIC) – 4.5 Stars

Estivo is one of the best restaurants in Kew, and an example of how to succeed at suburban fine dining. The place looks and feels classy, and the staff manage to tread the line of treating you like royalty without making you feel embarrassed. The food, itself, is also exquisite. I had venison carpaccio (with just enough sauce and garnish to enhance the texture and flavour of the meat without overpowering it), and confit duck and Portobello mushroom pappardelle (with a light sauce drawn off the mushrooms that lightly coated the pasta and added a beautiful sweetness to the dish).
