I bought a restaurant dinner coupon for two people, before visiting Melbourne, for Le Gourmand in Richmond (http://www.legourmand.com.au/#!) for either the cheese or charcuterie (meat) board. The service was outstanding, especially as I was by myself, and the friendly staff suggested beverages to complement the meal and looked after me well. I chose the cheese board option. The food itself was a masterpiece of arrangement on the long, wooden boards; colourful, appetising and superbly prepared with love. YUUUM!!!! You had a choice of cheeses as well as a selection from the tasting board and dessert list. There was a wide range of beverages to choose from, from soft through beers to wines to coffee and cocktails. The food was Australian/European fusion with a French panache. The French rustic décor and soft music playing in the background promoted a relaxed feel and added to the ambience. I had a fantastic night out. The restaurant is also open all day for six days (closed Tuesdays) serving breakfast through to dinner. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be going again next time I'm in Melbourne. Thanks, Le Gourmand, for a truly lovely and thoroughly delectable evening!

Approximate cost: $25-95/two p.

We had a lovely meal, very good value but there was so much of it we couldn't eat it all. My cheesecake had to be to go! A huge menu which took ages to read but there's certainly something for everyone. Amazing choice...
