European - Melbourne - 161 Spring Street, Melbourne

What is the world coming to when it is now not possible to walk into a restaurant on a cold winter Monday night to get a table.

Luckily the Europran was kind to let us in, but only just.

The menu here has its regulars - coq a vin, steak tartare and souvlaki.

Tonight I ordered ricotta gnocchi with zucchini and mint and peas.

Others ordered mushroom risotto.

It truly is European.

The food is comfortably good. It does not wow you but everything is cooked very well and with balance.

A warm and cosy atmosphere with a nice glass of wine makes The European a place you want to come back to.

7.5/10
