Speck - Confit Duck Leg - Guillaume at Bennelong
Our main course were just as perfect. My cofit duck leg was tender and moist with a crisp skin. Julia didn't really like the braised mini brussel sprouts, but the slight bitterness was a nice foil for the rich duck. There was also small batons of fatty speck that was probably braised with the sprouts to give it an extra flavour boost.

All our expectations were met at Guillaume at Bennelong! All we needed was good food done well, and we got all that at Guillaume's.
If we ever get the chance, perhaps we should go back for the 8-course degustation!
