Taggarts Cafe, Bar
and Restaurant is part of the Frankston International Motel on Nepean
Highway in Frankston. I joined a table of eight there for a birthday
celebration. The decor is modern, a little cold but pleasant. There is a small
bar with seating and standing area, in the restaurant, which would be suitable
for a pre-drinks. On some nights there
is a show and for me if a wanted a quiet meal with a good friend I would avoid
those nights. Talking during the show is not only rude but it would be
difficult.
Most of my table ordered the steak. Probably the last meal I
would order at an untried restaurant unless
highly recommended by a reliable source. I was pleasantly surprised when all carnivores report the steak excellent. Guess what I am trying on next
visit? For me the fish looked safe but it was over cooked and embedded itself
into the mash on any attempt to cut or fork it. It was just too mushy! The entree’ was scallops and prawns in a Pernod cream sauce which were
perfectly blanched. I would have this as a main if available.
Possibly the best entree’ I have ever had. Glorious! This Chef knows what he is doing and can deliver.
Dessert was sticky date with butterscotch sauce, cream etc.
Once more glorious. I would have it again. I forgive the man with the tall
white hat for the fish. He left me with a full tummy and a smile on my face. Taggarts is a place I would go once more and a
venue I would share with an friend for a romantic or not so romantic meal. Without the entertainment you would enjoy a
delicious relaxing meal in pleasant surroundings and friendly staff. If you go
take me. I want more of those yummy scallops.
