“It’s all about casual dining done well; we want people to have a great meal with friendly service”. Burlington is all about the options.
“It’s a simple bistro done with a little bit of a twist so you can have everything in a small or a large size. You can drop in for a bowl of soup, or you can do a full-blown make-your-own degustation. You can use the restaurant however you want” Diners are able to select between smaller and larger sizes for their dishes and Lela recommends patrons share at least 3-5 courses.
The inspiration for Kemp’s menu draws on Spanish, English, Italian and French cooking. Burlington continues Kemp’s tradition of “peasant food cooked superbly”, as well as his influence on seasonality, sustainable farming and the use of lesser-used cuts of meat. On the plate he artfully marries sophisticated Gallic classics with fresh modern tastes and heart-warming British comfort food.
“I love the simplicity of the presentation and the depth of flavours. Most dishes are available in two sizes and virtually all the wines are available by the glass in very European-style carafes at different sizes. Its both amazing and applaudable”.
Franz Scheurer Australian Gourmet Pages Newsletter March 2008
The website has also awarded Burlington Bar their Dish of the Month for February 2008 for the popular Brawn, Pig's Ear Beignets and Remoulade.
“We’re certainly impressed, whether it’s with the spaghettini with clams, jamon, parsley and chilli, the dry-aged rib-eye with hand-cut chips and Bearnaise, or the outstanding brawn on Remoulade, topped with pig’s ear beignets that’s sure to keep Kemp’s legion of offal-worshipping fans very happy.”
