Lunch & Dinner
7 Days
So, it is a quiet Wednesday evening and Buggles and I are in the mood for a bit of a cheeky mid weeker.
Unable to decide on a location we aim the Mazda in the general direction of Surry Hills & decide to take it from there.
Not far up from the Cleveland Street end of Crown, we spot Crown Street Assembly and decide to give it a try.
The room is not large, but on this quiet Wednesday evening they have plenty of room for us.

So how long has it been? How long have we wanted to dine at Claude's - the answer is, a very long time.
Truth be told, I'm so ancient I could have visited when Damien and Josephine Pignolet were in their first flush of greatness.
It has only taken 31 years, but we are finally making the visit.
Sure, much has changed in that time - we completely missed the Tim Pak Poy years and current owner and Executive Chef Chui Lee Luk has been successfully running the restaurant since 2004 - but better late than never I say!
So for our first visit we have decided on a leisurely Saturday lunch in the downstairs bar section (we shall save the upstairs fine diner for another time).
