Stanly St Station

I have to give this restaurant two thumbs up for food, atmosphere and drinks. The exterior is simple enough, the interior relaxed and homely, neither really do justice to the delicious wholesome goodness of the food. I've eaten there twice now and i have every intention of going back again. And i know Elle agrees with me, and she's eaten there far more.

We started off with some very strong cocktails. A classic mohito for me and a chin chin for Ellie. Tasty to say the least.

Onto the mains which were both superb. I had the sirloin steak with creamy mash, crisp green veges and a peppercorn juis. Elle had the chicken Kiev with crispy kipfler potatoes, wilted baby spinach and mushroom and brie stuffed chicken. Really and truly they were two delicious dishes.

We finally finished with dessert, of course. A panacota with raspberry compote and vanilla bean ice-cream for myself, and homemade mango ice-cream with raspberry compote for Elle. The panacota was smooth and creamy and perfectly balanced by the tart raspberries. Ellie's mango ice-cream was rich and fruity, you could taste real mango rather than mango flavoring.

I'll leave you with something really very funny. It's the sign outside the restaurant. Just brilliantly dry. And of course our smiling faces after a brilliant meal.
