Great local spot for Sunday Lunch!
Make sure you book!
A bistro type restaurant that is a local favorite. Been here for years. Good food. Good portions. Good menu. Good value for money. Good area. A nice place to go to.
I had read many of the rave reviews of Moltenos and so we decided we had to go and tried to book for a Friday evening. It is a strange process. You phone and have to leave a message nominating one of their pre determined times. Then you have to wait. If you hear nothing then you have been successful. If you get a call it means you have been unsuccessful.
They are obviously very busy and so we were treated with military style efficiency. We felt under time pressure from the moment we arrived a few minutes before our 6pm reservation. I felt this pressure throughout. The service was quick and efficient, the food was delicious, but never relaxed. We never felt comfortable.
There were many regulars who were treated warmly but as it was our first time, despite being locals, I felt we were treated as passing trade. Maybe we need to try again on a quieter night but I would not rush back on a Friday.
