It was Restaurant Week 2013 and this time i only managed to go for only one restaurant - Garibaldi at Purvis Street. It was a good choice as my friend and i had a great lunch that day. Ambience was pretty good when i first entered but i thought they can arranged the tables in a better way. Some of us were like facing other diners opposite us! Now let's go to the food. We started off with bread which was nice and warm. I even had a second piece to go with my soup! For the starter, both my friend
It was Restaurant Week 2013 and this time i only managed to go for only one restaurant - Garibaldi at Purvis Street. It was a good choice as my friend and i had a great lunch that day. Ambience was pretty good when i first entered but i thought they can arranged the tables in a better way. Some of us were like facing other diners opposite us!
Now let's go to the food. We started off with bread which was nice and warm. I even had a second piece to go with my soup!
For the starter, both my friend and i tried different items. I chose the Sweet Corn Soup with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Spanner Crab Meat. Very flavorful in the right texture. Thumbs up! My friend had the talian Buffalo Mozzarella Salad with Tomatoes Avocado & Smoked Cavier and my first reaction was how pretty the whole thing looked. It was a great combination of different ingredients and flavors together. Very refreshing!
We also opt for different items for main course. The Slow-Cooked Red Grouper with Green Asparagus & Cauliflower Puree was pleasing to the eye when it arrived at my table. Lovely colors and i felt like i was having a Christmas meal instead of Restaurant Week. This was perfect for me as i love fish and it was very fresh. The accompanying ingredients compliment it very well too.
My friend opt for Pasta dish - Home-Made Thick Noodle "Bigoli" with Bacon, Broccolini, Onion Confit and Shaved Pecorino Cheese. I tried some and it felt a bit undercooked for my personal liking. But after a few more bites, i actually find it quite ok!
After clearing our plates when we were done with the main course, tea and coffee were served to us, followed by dessert - Passion Fruit Meringue Tart with Vanilla Gelato. Nice way to end a great lunch.
Personally i find the price of $40++ worth it for the service, the environment, the quality of food! Definitely will be back again =)
