Wildflower: Restaurant review

Don't be deceived by the name. Wildflower is a class act, but would you expect anything less from the debonair rooftop fine-diner atop COMO The Treasury?

REVIEW

Don't be deceived by the name. Wildflower is a class act, but would you expect anything less from the debonair rooftop fine-diner atop COMO The Treasury? Still, that doesn't make the appearance of this elegant glass-and-marble box any less graceful, or the poise of dapper waitstaff any less welcome. The tasting menus are equally considered, showcasing WA ingredients in intricate, meticulous arrangements. Roasted beetroot with pepperberry crème fraîche and a mini landslide of pistachio and beetroot soil is all earthy sweetness, while a slash of ajo blanco electrifies marron draped over sweetcorn purée. Harissa and the scent of cinnamon myrtle, meanwhile, ensure rosy Dorper lamb loin is anything but staid. To finish, lush chocolate mousse finds synergies with mandarin gel and pebbles of frozen yoghurt. And while the kitchen's jurisdiction may be strictly local, the blockbuster cellar is free to wander the globe; the result being a list capable of injecting the special into any occasion.
