Six Triple Three

Why Six Triple Three I hear you ask, well it's simple really, 6333 is Denmarks post code. This is our review based on the experience we had on our last visit in July 2009.

Six Triple Three can be found in the middle of Denmark town. It is located within a large old house that I’m told also serves as the family home for the couple that run it. From the outside the building looked quite impressive however I think the garden could do with a bit more landscaping.

The dining room is very small with a capacity of only around 18 – 20 people, it is well decorated and lends itself well to a very intimate dining experience.

The menu is quite limited with a choice of only three entree, three main and three desserts however, given that the owner is the only chef I can understand and forgive the lack of choice. The bit that I cannot get over is the absolute lack of flexibility in our request for small changes to the dishes. An example was my request to have the dessert with cream instead of ice cream. Not a huge change and certainly not involving the main constituent of the dish. The request was met with an unequivocal no. Not a big complaint in the scheme of things but for a restaurant that seems to sell itself on providing a friendly, upmarket dining experience I don’t think it’s really good enough.

To start the meal, I selected the Prawns with seafood Tortellini and my wife had the Turkish bread & Hommus dip. Now, when I go out to a restaurant, I’m looking for a dish that explodes with flavour and makes me forget about everything else and just enjoy eating the dish. The Prawns and Seafood Tortellini does this, it has to be one of the best that I’ve ever eaten. It was well balanced with all the flavours coming through in just the right way and it left me wanting more. In comparison, the Turkish bread & Hommus dip was just average. There was nothing really wrong with it. It just lacked the wow factor of the other dish.

For the main course, I had the Sumac Lamb and my wife chose the Pithivier of Duck. The lamb was generally good; it was well cooked and nicely tender but unfortunately again lacked the major wow factor that I was looking for after the first course.

The Pithivier of Duck was quite spectacular in its presentation whereby it comes out in a free standing pastry case surrounded by the vegetables and cherry sauce on a bed of soft polenta. It was therefore a great shame that the pastry was not quite cooked properly and as a result was quite doughy and hard to eat.

In closing think that the restaurant has a lot of potential but lacks the finish to make it a truly great restaurant. For the price we paid for the meal I expected a bit more.
