No-one does food and wine culture, quite like the French. And for the ultimate French alliance, just head straight to Sydney’s Paddington!
P&V Merchants, in Paddo, is a specialist liquor store, focusing on natural, sustainable and organic wines, with a huge variety of French wines too. Drinkers can enjoy a selection of fine drops, on site, in the wine bar out back, L’Avant Cave Wine Bar. There’s also a range of French-style bar snacks on offer, from warm bowls of escargot, to a morish croque monsieur.
For those keen on a more substantial meal, just head upstairs to Porcine. An authentic, French-style bistro, Porcine is the brainchild of three besties, and Francophiles, who dreamed of opening their own French restaurant. Go- to dishes include the house-made duck, veal and peppercorn pate, the terrine and the Trevally Tartare with Hens Egg and Horseradish.
At P&V Merchants Paddington, and Porcine, you’ll find a food and wine experience, so good, you’ll be shouting ‘Vive la France’!
WIN! A $200 voucher to Porcine!
