I was super impressed at how easy it was to enjoy such delicious dishes from the comfort of my home, all we had to do was heat everything in the oven for 15 minutes.

Firstly, the spiced carrot croquettes was unlike anything I'd seen before which made me very curious how they tasted. They were okay, nothing exciting and a little under seasoned - the chilli jam on the side was definitely needed.

The mushroom parcels were really tasty and I loved the pinenuts! The ricotta cakes and baked cauliflower were amazing dishes too and something I would definitely order again.

My highlight of the dishes was definitely the mango & coconut semifreddo. The ginger crumb complimented the refreshing dessert perfectly and I could really taste the fresh mango flavour.

Overall, I'd highly recommend Gourmet Kitchen for it's unique dishes and will definitely need to experience the dine in option next time! read less

I have eaten at this restaurant twice. The first was a Christmas work party. The owner Laura and her team worked so hard to make it a wonderful night.

Laura worked closely with myself over the space of a couple of weeks to put together a Christmas style menu with specific dietry requirements which included gluten free, vegetarian and vegan! No easy task!

Not only did Laura accommodate this but she also kindly added a gluten free bread and butter pudding to the menu at my request. It was delicious!

Laura had allocated the back area which has its own sliding doors. This area is used for her cooking school which I must book a lesson for myself. This made it feel we had our own venue. Their was bluetooth speakers which allowed to play our own festive music.

We had booked a 3 hour bar which was to consist of soft drinks, beer, cider, wines, sparking wine and coctail jugs. On arrival our area was decorated beautifully and tables set up with our drinks which we could just help ourselves to. This was in addition to their team continuously topping up the bubbles and coctails.

The food was set up as roaming dishes which were amazing! One of my team on the night informed them that she was halal and they just whipped her up something different which said tasted amazing. This was truly impeccable service!

My second visit was with a friend who I had not seen for several months due to the 1st covid 19 lockdown. We shared the lamb shoulder with several sides which we could not get enough of! This was washed down with a bottle of red and a yummy mango parfait and signature ruby chocolate mousse.

This was yet another lovely visit. This restaurant is such great value for money and the quality of food and service is 1st class. This restaurant truly deserves to thrive when we all get to venture out again with friends! read less

Had the Pumpkin chips, Jamon Croquettes, Seafood Paella and Braised Lamb Shank Pie. Seafood was plentiful and cooked well. Whole lamb shank in a pie was amazing and fell off the bone. Food was packed in environmentally friendly packaging that was well labeled right down to the sauces, all travelled well and was still hot when I got it home. Suitably priced. Will be back. read less

Due to the current covid 19 situation the pleasure of my first meal at this restaurant has been through Uber eats.

The food is lovely. Only downside, due to the steam that is let off from being freshly cooked food, it was soggy by the time it had arrived. However still tasted amazing and just made me crave the experience I would have had in the restaurant.

The croquettes were still slight crispy and so good.

The pork was soft and tender with a slight crunch on the skin still. The semi freddo was the highlight (although very solid!).

Will order again and will visit once we are out of lock down.

Thank you for lifting my spirits with lovely food 💕 read less

I was very excited when I saw that the day I wanted to book, there was a Spanish Cooking Class being held. My wife and I enjoyed it so much. Laura was such an amazing teacher throughout the entire class and always assured us in everything we did, and never made us feel like any question was a dumb question. We met some great people in the class, made and ate some great food, and even got to take home our very own aprons too. It was an experience that my wife and I will never forget and we look forward to enrolling in future cooking classes with Laura. Thank you for a fantastic experience. read less

We had to change the date we’d booked initially however this was sorted quickly without fuss. The school is easy to get to being opposite the Moonee Ponds train station and the kitchen was very clean with good, modern facilities. Instructor Laura was very knowledgeable and made the class a lot of fun for the ten of us attending. We cooked a variety of tapas dishes including Jamon croquettes - amongst the best I’ve had! - meatballs with sherry, calamari, and other. Gourmet Kitchen also has a restaurant out front which wasn’t open on the night, which was actually good as we got to cook in an actual restaurant kitchen. After a break to taste our tapas it was onto the main course of two paella dishes plus salads, which we then got to sample. A very nice sangria recipe was also on our list, which we made and got to enjoy as well. We got simple, comprehensive recipe notes including a few extras to try at home. Laura gave plenty of good tips and shortcuts as well. Recommended - but go hungry! read less

The food was simply amazing- to the point where guests were Googling how to make their own versions of the dishes served in between courses. The staff were friendly and attentive and made the guest of honour feel very special indeed. Rather than wait until the next function rolls around, my husband and I are going to head to Gourmet Kitchen and use their tapas night as our next date night! read less
