There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the new Geoff Lindsay (ex Pearl) venture in Elwood. While those over the other side of the Yarra have been enjoying hawker style Vietnamese fare for many years, it has been a slow time coming for the inner bay.

There are many things I love about this type of dining: casual yet stylish surrounds - tick, mix and match dishes a whole table can share – tick, vibrant and exciting flavours – tick, not far to stumble home after too much wine – big tick.

The menu is grouped into sections including a roll and wrap bar comprising of share plate starters which also goes for the Vietnamese salad section. This is followed with a Pho and wet dishes section and a grill and large dishes. We shared the sizzling coconut pancake with crab and BBQ pork from the wrap bar, a Wagyu beef Pho and a wet dish of duck braised in mandarin juice and star anise with chilli ginger and holy basil.

We were sorely tempted to try the $38 mud crab claw, bamboo and bun noodle pho but will save that for next time.
