The oldies down in Singleton Community Aged Care are certainly not complaining about the quality of the food they are now getting since Bloody French’s chef Boubakar Barrie took over the kitchen.
When they say “Bloody French” they are thanking their lucky stars that the former owner of the Rokeby Road restaurant of that name is now on the tools serving up boeuf bourguignon and coq au vin to the lucky residents.
In the meantime, another French chef, Mathieu Wyatt – formerly of Chez Pierre – has been busy refurbishing the character home with plans to serve Mediterranean cuisine “with a touch of French flair” under the name of Intuition.
Expect Spanish, Italian and French fusion dishes with an Australian and Mediterranean wine list.
Some old regulars will welcome the new name.
“I called it Intuition because that’s the way I cook,” says Mathieu, who grew up in Montpelier and worked in Lyon before arriving in Australia.
“I try to educate people to cook by feel and not just follow a recipe. You need to know that ingredients can behave differently in recipes so you need to follow your instincts.”
The alfresco lattice area with rattan seats will be just the spot to enjoy a glass of wine without having to have a meal.
Our own intuition says it sounds bloody good!
