M Restaurant - Mercure Sydney Parramatta

We had dinner here on a rainy Sunday night. There was plenty of undercover parking. Before you go though the boom gate there is a sign saying $15 for parking however if you are just there for dinner its complimentary. $15 only applies to overnight stays. We were told that the menu here changes around three times a year and the current menu is only about 5 weeks old. We ordered the tempura black pepper soft shell crab and cilantro pesto AND blood orange and beetroot marinated salmon fillet for entree. The soft shell crab was very light and crunchy and it went quite well with the cilantro pesto. I would have liked a little bit of acidity. Maybe a wedge of lemon on the side? I didn't taste the salmon but it looked beautiful on the plate. However I was told it was quite bland... For mains we had the Mexican pie AND the chicken parmigiana. The Mexican Pie looked scrumptious and mouth watering on the board and was just as delicious. The bottom part of the pastry was slightly over cooked (a little dry and hard so if was difficult to cut through) but it still tasted good. The chicken parmigiana was cooked perfectly. The chicken breast was tender and the chips were amazing. One of the best chips I've had. I would have loved a bit more salad on the side. We also ordered the cheeseburger and chips from the kids menu for the little one. Kids meals are all $12 and it came with a drink and ice cream. The little one told me the burger was delicious (ate it all so it must be) and the chips were amazing (the chips were the same as the chips that came with the chicken parmigiana). The ice cream had chocolate flakes (looked like broken up Kit Kat) as the topping. A definite thumbs up for the effort compared to the usual artificial chocolate sauce you get at most other places. The service was very efficient, friendly and professional. I would definitely be back and with the Accor Plus card, it makes it a good deal.

Always a great option. Food is consistently good. Perhaps a tad overpriced but always a great burger.
