    A great place for lunch. I had the crispy duck salad which was excellent and one of the best salads I’ve eaten. My friend had the roast vegetable salad and loved it. Staff were very accommodating when she asked for an egg on top. We will definitely be back to try the other salads. The Japanese inspired salad nicoise looked delicious.

    No great problems recommending Morena as food, beverage, service and ambience were all of high standard. Noise levels from overcrowding however need to be addressed if management expect otherwise happy diners to return. Highlights included bar/beverages their Negroni cocktail among the best experienced, also in the absence of Australian Chardonnays by the glass the Argentinian offering was exceptional and the French Provence Petite Fleur GSM Rose a revelation. The crudo Red Emperor with crushed Brazil nuts in sago and passionfruit sauce was a new taste delight and the grilled Flathead and BBQ 1/2 chicken had wonderful Argentinian flavors. Likewise the non-standard rice pudding is recommended.
