The headline would make a pithy review. Mean, funny and tempting.
But it would be an injustice to my readers and perhaps the restaurant. The food at C’est Bon
in Port melbourne is okay. And because of a recent update the text from this post has dissapeared.
My main problem ws getting hold of a spoon for the boullabaise in what i think was a fairly boring restaurant.

Presenting a dish at a table at which the appropriate cutlery has not been provided is a gross error and must be corrected immediately, not in the waiter’s good time.
Sounds like the senior downsizers are channelling their glorious 1960s. Quelltaler hock, anyone?
Kitchenhand, I know. Sometimes I think I’m being a fascist but it is pretty basic. What surprises me is that they have had some very good reviews.
I’ve amended the potato line as through my own ignorance I didn’t realise that some versions of bouillabaisse contain potatoes. There is a fairly vigorous debate on which one is the authentic one. The Old Foodie has a pretty goof post explaining everything.

Just noticed you have amended your comments on the potatoes in the bouillabaisse.
I had been meaning to comment that I had the pleasure of eating bouillabaisse in beautiful Marseille a week ago and on both ocassions that I was served it, it had potatoes poached in the broth.
I noticed the service was a little different also to what we do in Aust. with the broth served first with croutons, raw garlic to rub and rouille, and then the fish in a little broth is served as a second course. The fish was always cooked on the bone and filleted off in an elaborate ceremony by the waiter.
Shame about your experience at C’est Bon, I was looking forward to going, perhaps I have to call and make sure Amelie is there first.

Amelie was there that night. I’ve spent a lot of my life on holiday in France or for work there and have never come aross potatoes – even in Marseille
We enjoyed a fairly good meal at C’est Bon last night. Somehow it just missed the mark for being really good. We didn’t have the bouillabaisse but I think, despite the reservations of the above comments, it’s worth a visit. See my review at http://www.1001dinners.blogspot.com
On another subject I love the idea of a bloggers big night out. Lets do it.
Lets just invite expressions of interest for a couple of weeks and if there is enough interest book a place for a perhaps a Monday night when many restaurants might normally be closed.
What do you think Ed Could you be the person to hold a list of want to be in it bloggers?
We should do a bloggers night, I’ll post about it soon but it takes quite a bit of organisation.
i’m so harm
