L'Eclipse Light Lunches

Responding to customer demand for a lunch for less than $200, L'Eclipse has reworked its buffet, with a reduced price ($188, Mon-Fri), while still ensuring a wide range of dishes.

There is still a selection of made-to-order salad and sushi, plus a pasta station, and a range of Western, Chinese and Indian dishes. A new addition is a choice of fish that is cooked to order, ideal for those looking for a lighter lunch.

Associate editor, Vicki Williams, sampled the fare and her personal favourites were the Japanese-style grilled skewers, particularly the melt-in-the-mouth beef; the curries; and the steamed fish topped with a unique black bean sauce.
