点评:We booked for the casual platters option for lunch rather than the dining room as the restaurant menu had an unusual format for selecting/sharing (we think, but each to their own).
But we appreciated being also able to order a green side dish from the restaurant menu on a ‘per piece’ price to have with our platter, and that side plate of broccolini was to die for. I think we would have been happy with just a plate of that for each person. Sensational flavour given the sesame aspect. Excellent!
The Grazing Platter was generous and well presented. The duck pâté was the second most enjoyed food item on the day after the broccolini. The pickles were also great, so too the local truffle honey. Unfortunately the one piece of cheese was completely inadequate in size, the chorizo was an item we would very much question having on such a platter and the oil covering the very nice sourdough made things very messy when handling the bread. Where the pâté was the best item, the smoked walnuts were the least enjoyed item on that platter - whilst a point of difference, they needed to be contained within a little dish/pot as they became annoying the way they got caught up and stuck in all other items and transmitted their flavour – into the cheese, into the Shiraz paste and into the hummus!!
Their Drs Cut Riesling is quite nice but we didn’t do a proper tasting, hence the comments here are platter-centric!
翻译:我们选择了随意拼盘作为午餐,而没有去餐厅用餐,因为餐厅的菜单在菜品选择与分享方式上有些与众不同(我们认为如此,不过各有所好啦)。
不过我们很欣赏的一点就是:还可以按照单价从菜单上单独点一份素菜来搭配拼盘。那份西兰花苗简直绝了——我觉得就算每人只来一盘这种素菜也足够令人满足了。芝麻带来的风味更是令人叫绝。太棒了!
这款佐酒拼盘分量十足且摆盘精美。在当天的菜品中,鸭肉酱是仅次于西蓝花最受欢迎的食物。腌菜也很美味,当地的松露蜂蜜同样出色。可惜的是,那一块奶酪的份量实在少得可怜;这种拼盘里放西班牙辣香肠也实在令人费解。此外,淋在口感极佳的天然酵母面包上的油使得拿取面包时十分油腻。总体而言,鸭肉酱无疑是整份拼盘中的最佳配料。那些烟熏核桃是拼盘里最不受欢迎的食物——虽然它们算是个特色,但最好放在小碟子或小罐子里盛放,因为它们很容易黏在其他食物上,还会把烟熏味带到奶酪、西拉葡萄酱以及鹰嘴豆泥里,实在很烦人!!
他们家的Drs Cut雷司令葡萄酒相当不错,不过我们没有进行正式的品鉴,所以这里的评价都围绕着拼盘而言啦!
