Armorica Grande Brasserie Armorica Grande Brasserie is a sprawling restaurant inside the former Toko site on Surry Hills’ Crown Street by Andrew Becher, the restaurateur behind Euro restaurants Parlar and Franca. Executive chef José Saulog’s sizeable menu starts with cold dishes: foie gras; octopus roulade (a mandatory order); and an opulent seafood tower piled high with oysters, a prawn cocktail, coral trout carpaccio and South Australian rock lobster. Pastas are made inhouse – the spaghetti with scampi, Moreton Bay bug meat and zucchini trifolati. A self-confessed Francophile, Becher named the restaurant after the ancient region of north-west France that encompassed modern-day Brittany and Paris, and took inspiration from his visits to old-world establishments La Coupole and Septime.
