    Jeremy's life in kitchens began when he was 14 with a weekend washing-up job in a hotel in rural England. He then moved to London, apprenticing in five-star hotels, before working with Michel Roux at the three Michelin starred Waterside Inn.

    He then worked for Roger Verge at the three-star Le Moulin de Mougins in the south of France before returning to London as second chef to Pierre Koffmann at La Tante Claire.

    Jeremy arrived in Melbourne in 1992 and was head chef at The George Hotel in St Kilda, the Aldelphi, his own restaurant Pomme and finally Langtons.

    In 2002 Jeremy headed to Sydney to become chef director of MG Garage.

    He and wife Jane opened Bistrode in September 2005.

    Jeremy currently writes a weekly food column for The Sydney Morning Herald.

      Wonderful food, excellent service. Brussel sprouts (yes, brussel sprouts!) to die for.   (Bronwyn - April, 2010)

      The food was a little pricey, but beautiful. Not to everyones taste as the dishes were quite different. The service was excellent. The Maitre de was very welcoming and knowledgable. We were not familiar with a lot of the wines and they were also quite pricey. The only real negative I would have was that the lighting was shocking. We had one small votive on our table and the room was dark. We could hardly see what we were eating. Please do something about the lighting. We would recommend this restaurant to people who enjoy something different. Carol Jeffs   (May, 2008)

      This is a hidden treasure! The taste of the food was perfect and great service. I will be going back again, and again.   (January, 2008)

    • Overall 5.5 - Food 7, Ambience 8, Value 4, Service 3

      Bistrode used to be our favourite restaurant. I have to think long and hard about that now.   (January, 2008)

    • Overall 9.3 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 8, Service 10

      Hard to fault anything with this restaurant & I will continue to go back. The only small negative is I'm finding their entrees are creeping up in price a little & are no longer the best value for money. For their price I'd like a bit more..... wow factor? The mains have also gone up a bit but no complaints on this score, they're always fabulous & well worth it! The staff as always were terrific.   (MXT - See my reviews (2) - December, 2007)

    • Overall 8.5 - Food 8, Ambience 8, Value 9, Service 9

      Inventive, delicious menu. Impeccable service. Good wine list with reasonable prices. Party of 4 with 2 bottles were well pleased with a bill that came to $320.   (rtomkinson - See my reviews (13) - March, 2007)
