Fresch Restaurant & Bar

For modern Australian cuisine in a relaxed yet sophisticated setting, look no further than this new restaurant in Como.

Crisp white interiors and glass panels which slide open to reveal an al fresco terrace are every bit as fresh and modern as the menu, which changes constantly to reflect what’s in season.

Created by Michelle Ralph and Rosetta Keenan, the restaurant’s combination of warm service and flavoursome food make it the perfect spot for everything from a quick bite to a long dinner with friends.

The menu reflects the best of Western Australia. Think organic meats, light vegetarian options and freshly-caught seafood, as well as a mouthwatering selection of sides. Poached pear and blue cheese salad is a fantastic addition to any meal.

Crowd pleasers include the fillet steak with truffle polenta and pan-fried fish of the day with lentils and chorizo. To start, don’t miss the tomatoes crostini with goats cheese and salty olives.

The wine list focuses on Australian producers, although there are some handpicked European labels to try too. When it comes to cocktails, expect sophisticated serves flavoured with herbs. Pomegranate mojito anyone?
