Anniversary at Alain's

We celebrated our second wedding anniversary at Airlie Beach. The challenge was finding a great place to have dinner in backpacker city but we did! A wonderful little restaurant called Alain's by the beach about 30 minutes walk from the Marina. An unassuming French restaurant you'd almost miss if you were walking by.
Oooo which entree do I eat first
Chef and his dessert specialities
Alain's specialises in a 6 course menu cooked with loving care by Alain himself. The restaurant only seats around 25 people so dining there is a very personal experience. Alain's background includes being a pastry chef and his brioche at the beginning of the meal was to die for. The whole restaurant is full of personally collected items from the wine decanters to the 1920's Citroen in the dining room (which doubles as a  wedding car). Good food and great fun - we left at around midnight. Highly recommended if you're ever in the area.
