seagrass

For my birthday I was taken to seagrass Restaurant and Bar, www.seagrassrestaurant.com.au  in South Bank. The staff were elegant and professional, the place beautiful stylish with a glass wall desplay of large glass vases and decanters and benches full of fresh white and green flowers. We sat over looking the river and glancing over that the crowds watching buskers on the bank.

 

The menu Changes every day.

 

This is what we ordered:

Freshly shucked oysters with lemon and lime and a hint of something sweet

Confit pork belly, Moreton Bay bugs, apple hazelnut salad, apple balsamic

Caramelised Canadian scallops, truffle polenta, chorizo foam

Grilled Moreton Bay bugs, cherry tomato, radish & witlof salad. anchovy, garlic & herb butter.

 

So it was very comfortable and very fine and I felt right at home

Cafe La

On the 35th floor in the Sofitel Hotel there lives a spectacular cafe that treats you to a champagne brunch every Sunday and on Mothers day it’s extra special. I helped my self to the entree of fresh oysters, and prawns, and as much cold delights as I could wish for such as cold meats, cheeses, salads and fruit. I skipped the hot stuff although I heard the baked salmon pastry was to die for and went straight to the dessert. Dessert was special because they all came in these tiny little packages so you don’t feel like your indulging too much and yet you get a taste for everything. It was just what I needed. Sigh.
