With a reputation bigger than its dining room, One-Eleven Bluff serves up modern Australian cuisine with an Asiatic influence in an unassuming premises set well away from the Bluff Road shopping precinct. The decor is minimalist with dark red and grey upholstery complementing an unusual display of black napkins and tablecloths guaranteed to let the gastronomic presentations of chef Richard Van Deursen shine. Famed from his work at the Vin Cellar and Blakes Cafeteria, Van Duersen has created a menu blending traditional Aussie bistro staples such as seafood, curries and paella with tangy Asian flavours - adding yellow curry sauce to the crisp-fried snapper main and star anise sauce to the establishment's famous double-cooked belly pork in crackling. Prawns, mussels and chorizo tango with Vietnamese mint and rind of lime in the exciting array of savoury offerings.
Athough the wine list is not extensive, appetising dessert options such as banana pudding with honeycomb ice ream and Spanish doughnut with chocolate sauce and chocolate fondant are sure to earn some fans. One-Eleven Bluff's modern business-like vibe and bayside location make it a good choice, and often a busy one, for corporate lunches or dinners to impress.

Different in a good way
So I had a coconut fish main with salad and a side of rice, the former two being served in an elongated plate. Wow, what can I say, the fish was just delicious, I'm not usually a fan of fish but this was great. The salad complemented it perfectly, the flavours being parallel to the fish and working well. The rice was fresh, not gluggy at all and was bowl-shaped as per usual.
Service was good, however I had to wait an hour for my meal, they did apologise though I wonder whether I was unlucky and to what extent. This was forgiven when I had the food as it was excellent, but the wait was a longer than I'd have liked.
The restaurant is on a corner, and is quite small, about the size of two large bedrooms. Though this gives it a cosy feel and makes it a bit more inviting. Notable elements are the somewhat tribal statues, exotic plants and shades of grey and red that are used on the walls, floor and ceiling.
Overall, I quite enjoyed it.
