Our wholegrain and rye sourdough, crafted in collaboration with our friends at bakery in Highett, is now served with a butter inspired by the flavours of French onion soup. It is made using butter — produced according to traditional French methods and renowned for its rich creaminess and balanced acidity.
The perfect accompaniment from start to finish: enjoy it on its own, or use it to mop up every last bite, in true French style.
