On Saturday 19 December, I had a little birthday lunch gathering with my colleagues at Sapore in St Kilda. To cut a long story short, I was highly impressed with the quality of the food. Sapore means flavour/aroma/taste in Italian - a very befitting name. Its 15/20 (one chef's hat) rating in the Age Good Food Guide 2010 is well-deserved. It's reasonably priced, great venue, good service, close to the beach. Will definitely be back again!
What I ate:
Entree - Saporetti (a range of small tastes) for $18 - great value for money! Best choice if you are indecisive (or just greedy, or both) and want to try a few different things in one dish! :)
Everything was wonderfully tasty - the items were mainly from the entree list, and included deep fried risotto ball (far right); baby octopus (centre); beef carpaccio with a caper and cornichon dressing, garlic croutons and celery hearts (left); citrus cured salmon with cucumber and dill, capers, creme fraiche and watercress (right)
Main course: Grain-fed eye fillet with truffled mash potato, salsa verde and veal jus
Most tasty steak I have had for a really long time! Perfectly seasoned, tender, tasty.
Also, I usually really dislike potato mash, but this truffled potato was sooo smooth and amazing that I cleaned my plate! Highly recommended!
What we drank: - Sparkling wine: a bottle of Podere Castorani Prosecco 2007 'Paparazzi' (Veneto, Italy)
- Red: a bottle of Anakema 2005 'Ona' Syrah (Rapel Valley, Chile)
