Joe's Pre-birthday Dinner @ Balthazar

Frances treated Joe to a very interesting restaurant/bar called Balthazar in Perth city.
Balthazar won Wine List of the Year 2009



They got huge selection of wine and the place was fantastic.



When we were inside, I found it a bit noisy because there was a bar at the entrance.
Balthazar is not a place for people who likes quiet and relax. Although it was noisy, somehow I felt comfortable sitting there having dinner there.

We started off with a good wine.



2004 Chateau La Nerthe
I'm not a wine person because I will feel sleepy always after even just one sip of it. But I thought to myself, I should really give this bloody expensive wine a go because it cost AUD 137 per bottle.
Hey! Guess what? I had a big glass! This wine is superb! Very smooth and the taste of the wine is amazingly good. Most importantly, I don't feel sleepy at all!
If you get the chance, please try this wine. You will never regret it. Joe is going to buy this wine to keep.

Let's start with the food now.

If you want me to tell you about the food in Balthazar, it will take me freaking hours.
I have no complains at all for the service, food, drinks or atmosphere.
Everything is PERFECT.
Don't wait anymore! Pick up the phone and book now! WEY never LIE to you when it comes to FOOD :)

Ps: Thanks to Frances because she found this restaurant or else I don't think I will get to taste such a good wine and food.
Ps2: I wish my family is here so I can bring them there.
