The Town Mouse easily sits in my top ten favourite restaurants in Melbourne. Whether you pull up a spot at the bar, nestle in the cosy courtyard or find a rare spot in black-tiled main room... you won't want to leave. Natural and low-intervention wines grace the list and the team will happily guide you through. Must eats include the duck liver parfait and slow roasted red cabbage. Go with a group so you can conquer the whole menu... you won't be disappointed. Perfect midweek adventure with my fellow Perth foodie Josh Gets Fat.
