With my GF there coz all other of my choices were closed on sundays Grey's Cafe was a 'second' choice Called them at 8 pm and made reservation for 8:30 . Sunday night, many tables vacant and when we arrived , we got the sofa with the round table for 4 personsThe manager and his staff made us feel comfortable. The bread was lovely with the aioli sauce ( made out of yogurt instead of 100% mayo) Wine list is very extensive and offers many good wines from both the new -and the old world As starter I
Grey's Cafe was a 'second' choice
Called them at 8 pm and made reservation for 8:30 . Sunday night, many tables vacant and when we arrived , we got the sofa with the round table for 4 persons
The manager and his staff made us feel comfortable. The bread was lovely with the aioli sauce ( made out of yogurt instead of 100% mayo)
Wine list is very extensive and offers many good wines from both the new -and the old world
As starter I took the Tartare and my GF the mushroom consomme
Tartare portion was just right and the home made 'Pringle' chips were spot-on once you take a bite of the chip and a bite of tartar simultaneously.
Mushroom consomme (soup of the day):
it looked too simple and taste average. Something you would think: i can make this too , with my kettle at home !
Seconds:
I had the baked barramundi with mint-peas mash and fennel.
Fish was cooked really well with a crispy skin on top and the mash was flavored really well and you could still taste the mint. Well Done!!
My GF had the baby lamb
When it arrived at the table, i thought the chef must have suffered from a heat stroke in the kitchen. The layout was poor , even a 6 year old kid having a buffet can lay things better than the chef did. Meat was sliced terribly. The mosterd sauces with peas was a nightmare. It looked and tasted like Heinze mustard mixed with cornstarch and water. The potato slices next to the meat: showed no use-cues that they were created from potatoes. Awful Awful.
Meat was too salty and also difficult to chew on because of some ligaments inside. Maybe this will explain the bad slicing of the piece of meat
So we nagged to the manager and because the second plate took us so long ( 30 mins) we decided not to have it remade in the kitchen and hurried to the dessert part.
I ordered the pineapple soup with ac ookie sandwich served with coconut sorbet
My GF ordered the chocolate fondant with cinnamon ice cream.
verdict: will give it a try at lunch time soon
Both desserts were terrific and the manager waived us the desserts to compensate for the lamb dish
