Le Village comes to Hunters Hill

It's three months behind schedule, but Hunters Hill has a new restaurant, with the opening on the weekend of Le Village at 37 Alexander Street.

''Some resident objections over noise and parking held us up,'' David Poirier says.

Poirier and co-owners Meredith Poirier and Robert Hodgson are the team behind Rozelle success story La Grande Bouffe, and have pushed north with Le Village, the neighbourhood eatery's menu including braised rabbit and black pudding salad, and pork chop with soft polenta.

It also has its own ''bakery'' line, selling confit duck baguettes and a goat's cheese and spanish onion tarte tatin.
