The Advocate Balwyn

We ventured to the heart of Balwyn to visit the gorgeous restaurant @advocate3103. While it certainly looked like a classy restaurant, the prices were very reasonable which was a huge plus. <br/ 
 <br/ Overall score: 19/25 or <br/ in 5 words: classy Balwyn bar for conversations<br/ <br/ review: we were honestly blown away by the advocate’s ambience. With carpeted floors and classic English decor peppered throughout the place, it’s quite easy to relax and have a good conversation here. Not surprised that deco is good the owner, Jane Gorman, is an esteemed interior designer.<br/ <br/ Service was really friendly, and we quickly settled in and ordered a pint of beer and gin fever tree tonic (my favourite tonic, which is already a huge plus).<br/ <br/ for food, we had the barramundi and pork belly as our mains, alongside duck fat potatoes. The potatoes were crispy and went well with our main dishes. While I loved the pork belly flavour, I was hoping for the top to be crispier. In contrast, the barramundi skin was cooked better than the underlying meat. <br/ <br/ All in all, this six week old restaurant is a place that I’ll be keeping my eye on. This venue is also highly recommended for dates and birthday restaurants. I’ll definitely be back with friends to enjoy the ambience and have drinks here.<br/ <br/ Taste: <br/ Ambience: <br/ Price: <br/ Presentation: <br/ Service: <br/ <br/ <br/
