Dandelion, by now an Elwood fixture, offers Vietnamese food by a western Chef. There's more magic to this cuisine than meets the eye; the kitchen's emphasis is on top-quality ingredients like mud crab, wagyu and organic chicken and the dining room is upmarket - all cloth napkins and crystal stemware. Dishes are loyal to Vietnamese flavours, but showcase sophisticated technique and innovative ingredient pairings.
THE FOOD
The modern take on familiar dishes is highlighted in the myriad of rice papers rolls, made to share, and comprised of soft shell crab or wagyu beef with coconut. Pick at traditional shredded chicken salad with Vietnamese slaw, or share Mekong fish curry with coconut, jackfruit and sweet potato. If you've come for the specialty, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Fresh broth, organic vegetables and corn-fed chicken or duck, make for a perfect light meal. Can't decide what to eat? Utter feed me, and allow your meal to be taken into the knowing hands of chef Lindsay. Then sit back, relax and enjoy the serenity.
