The Silver Spoon Food & Wine, Victoria Park

22 April 2011

Fine dining in Victoria Park at the heart of used car yard central. Our food was intricate, interesting and delicious. The dessert of rose pannacotta, fairy floss, rose granita and Turkish delight is stunning.

Coco’s Restaurant, South Perth

22 March 2011

Fantastic risotto and carpaccio. Wonderful salmon gravadlax and Geraldton dhufish. But an unbelievably noisy restaurant – things that smashed and clattered on the floor and a kitchen door didn’t stop squeaking.

The Chairman and Yip, Civic, Canberra

21 November 2010

Vanilla panna cotta with passionfruit sauce

Restaurant review. Fusion cuisine with silver service. The chef’s tasting menu was a glutton’s delight featuring seafood, pork, beef, mushrooms and the delicious signature duck and shitake pancakes. Exquisite desserts. Highly recommended.

Dinner – beef and mushroom casserole

20 July 2010

A hearty home-cooked winter meal – beef and mushroom casserole with garlic mashed potatoes. Tender beef that fell apart; sweet, soft carrots; gravy so good it was drinkable.

Alpine Restaurant, Carlisle

10 May 2010

Restaurant review – delicious German/Austrian food (magnificent authentic wiener schnitzel and chips!) spoiled by extremely slow service. So slow, in fact, that we left without ordering dessert, fearful it would take another hour to get to our table. We just couldn’t bear more waiting. That was the theme of the evening – waiting, waiting, waiting.

Portorosa Cafe, Fremantle

28 April 2010

Scotch filet steak with prawns and creamy garlic sauce

Restaurant review – unfortunately, the most memorable aspects of our meal were negative: the inedible garlic bread rusks we were served; the steak placed on chips; how we almost didn’t even eat at Portorosa. But I did enjoy my garlic prawns.

Chicken burger, steak burger

19 April 2010

Jac made us burgers for a recent Saturday lunch. They were pretty simple, but really delicious. A juicy chicken filet burger for me and a marinated steak burger for Jac.
