If the aromas wafting out of Bistro Guillaume at Crown Perth are a bit different this weekend, that’s because New Delhi’s Indian Accent has taken over the kitchen. The landmark restaurant famed for inventive Indian cuisine complemented with global ingredients and techniques opened in New Delhi in 2009 and has since spawned outposts in Mumbai and New York, as well as pop-ups around the globe. The New Delhi diner was voted the top restaurant in India by Conde Nast Traveller and has been a fixture in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list for more than a decade.
Indian Accent currently sits at No. 26 for Asia, and 89th in the world. Now it’s Perth’s turn to experience the pioneering mod-Indian tucker, with head chef Rijul Gulati hosting dinner at Bistro Guillaume on October 27 and 28, from 6.
30pm. Dinner costs $195 per person for eight courses (plus $80 for wine pairings or $140 for premium wines). Gulati will prepare two menus.
There’s a vegetarian feast, including masala-baked beet with peanut butter and khandvi, smoked arbi with red pumpkin salan curry and a papadum, and Indian Accent’s signature kulfi sorbet. The other menu stars the restaurant’s famous mango pickle pork ribs, tandoori foie gras and blue swimmer crab with malwani pulao among other mouth-watering plates combining Indian flavours and WA ingredients.
