Not so at Chef and Co.  The cointreau flavour was definitely present and the whole dish was light with just enough sweetness to satisfy.  My partner had the blueberry and apple crumble.  He said it was perfectly balanced although it could have done with more ice-cream (if it had come with a whole tub of ice-cream he'd have said the same).  We were so so pleased to find Yvonne Khan at the helm when we arrived and knew that we'd be in for a great evening. We weren't disappointed. Yvonne and Darren do a fantastic job. The waiters are well trained, efficient and friendly.  Our wine and water was kept topped up all evening.  Really the only slight niggle with the noise.  But most restaurants in Perth on the noisy side these days.  We really enjoyed the food and service and we'll be back.

Can’t post a photo of the food. It was too delicious and had to be gobbled immediately. Great menu and friendly service. Thanks Chef Co read more Can’t post a photo of the food. It was too delicious and had to be gobbled immediately. Great menu and friendly service. Thanks Chef Co

Lastly but most importantly is the food! All of it was delicious. Very fine flavours and not too overpowering. The arancini balls were some of the best I've had, very moist and succulent without too much salt.

We had to constantly flag down the wait staff, who seemed understaffed and overwhelmed, to no avail. It would have been helpful if they had informed us of the situation so we could have been more understanding. The shared starter was tasty, but there was not enough bread for the amount of pate provided, leading to waste. The beef fillets were supposed to come with gratin potatoes, but instead were served with french fries like a casual pub meal. My duck dish was cold and lacking in flavor, making it a struggle to finish. The lamb, on the other hand, was delicious but not served hot. Overall, both the food and service were below average and we are unlikely to return. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: A$60–80.
