Had lunch here (29 South Wharf Promenade, South Wharf, Melbourne, tel : +61 3 9682 6007) while we were at South Wharf so this was a totally random pick. This place was kinda like Brewerkz. Craft brew on tap and food to be had. We didn't get any beer though.
Those are boneless lamb ribs with mint sauce. The rib meat was deboned, breaded and fried. Unfortunately it didn't taste as good as it might have sounded. The meat needed more salt. Mint sauce tasted like the over sugared stuff that came from a jar.
The food was then subsequently saved by the Camembert. With honey and thyme and a dense and tasty walnut bread to go with. Wished they had given more bread for the gooey stinky cheese though.
Unexpectedly outstanding was their char grilled chicken breast with textures of corn. The meat from the chook was deliciously smoky while the crisp, char and sweet puree from the corn textures was enjoyable to say the least. These guys sure did a good job out of corn and chicken.
As much as we had enjoyed the Camembert and the chicken, we felt that the most awesome plate they served today was their ravioli. With green peas, Pecorino cheese, lemon and mint along with burnt lemon butter. Flavours were a medley of sweetness from the peas, citrus from the lemon and a nice savoury undertone from the cheese. As a dish, this could possibly be the best ravioli I've ever had to date.
