Mocan and Green Grout – New Acton

Mocan and Green Grout, in new Acton, has a great decor, atmosphere and style.
The dining tables and bench bar are all in together with the kitchen area and it’s a fun opportunity to watch the preparation of dishes while you dine, adding to the pleasure.
Service is friendly and efficient. The menu is designed around plates to be shared. Share plates vary from $16-$25. Desserts are $16.
This is helpful, as it’s a chance to sample a range of interesting flavours and textures.
Two dishes between two people was about right. However, dishes are sized in between an entree and a main, so people wanting more to eat might find it starts to get quite expensive.
As food comes quickly, it can work well to start with two dishes and order extra if you need to.
My favourite of the two dishes we had was Eden snapper, celeriac, fregola, salsa agrodolce $25. It had goregous flavours and textures.
Boxgum grazing pork belly, green paw paw, prawn floss $22 was also good, with great flavours and textures, but as you would expect, the pork belly was quite fatty.
Wine is BYO.
Corkage was about $10 per bottle (or $5 per person).
Parking is now easy as there is plenty along Parkes way.
In winter it can be a little chilly inside.
It gets busy and does not take bookings, so going during the week and early can be a good idea.
