My meals at Interlude were by far the best dining experience I have ever encountered. In my opinion, Robin Wickens is the best chef in Australia. Last week I ate at the Deanery and it was fantastic. I had is Minesstrone Soup, Crab & Corn, Maple Duck and Venison Beetroot dishes. All top quality and well presented. Well worth the price. Contrary to what Robin says in this article, I wish that he would go back to his "molecular" cuisine because he does it as well if not better than anyone I know.

The staff were fantastic and food was just wonderful. I have just dined at a London restaurant with 2 michelin stars and, while it was very good, it was still not as good as the dining experience I had at Interlude with Robin Wickens, and it cost me about twice the price. I will definitely be tracking Robin down when I return to Melbourne and would urge others to disregard Penelope's comment and go and decide for yourself.

Have you ever been to Interlude ? I think Melbourne is just not ready for that style of CUISINE . What Robin did was very good, but time consuming .

Robin was simply whipped in public by The Age. You'll find most top chefs have dishes from other top restaurants on their menus without acknowledging it which is why it was unfair to single out Robin .

(WD 50 ring a bell?? Alinea...?) No wonder Interlude closed down if the chef can no longer develop new dishes.
