Borsalinos

Best French food. For an expensive night out in Dubbo you might try Borsalinos, the restaurant at the Forest Lodge.
The chef is fantastic - trained in France, a very impressive CV, but most importantly, passionate about his food. The slow cooked beef is wonderful, and for an entree you can’t beat the garlic king prawns. A warm underground brick feel with a light hearted french touch. Doesn’t feel as classy as some other places, but the food truly makes up for it.
On the corner of Myall Street and Wheeler’s lane. Phone 6882 6500 for reservations.
In terms of food, I’d say it’s as good as Essence, but Essence meals are lighter, more delicate, more subtle, Borsalinos a bit heavier and stronger. It depends on my mood as to which I’d say in the best.
If you go to borsalino’s it’s much more private as it’s never very busy there. I can only think that’s because of the price, and perhaps the plastic tablecloths and the boppy french music. The food is certainly better than the atmosphere.

I am interested in a visit to
Dubbo and would like to visit and try your restaurant. Can you recommend a stay at the Forest Lodge Motor Inn? That way we can have a drink and not have to worry about drink driving.
What is your speciality at the restaurant? I am a vegetarian, what can you offer me?
thanks for your help

We went there last week and I can’t remember if there were any vegetarian dishes on the menu. You might try ringing them on 6882 6500. I think the motor inn is OK, but I’ve never seen inside.
Superb French food. We tried the scampi, twice-cooked duck, prime eye fillet, creme brulee. All cooked to perfection.
Prices are reasonable: entrees 17, mains 30, dessert 12
