My sister and I went out one Saturday night to catch up over dinner and also watch the latest zombie movie out: World War Z. I love all things undead (oh The Walking Dead) and with the recent rise in popularity of zombie apocalyptic world, what more would you want than the gorgeous Brad fighting of the reanimated with his good looks and charm?
Huldah and I went to The Burrow for dinner. I didn't book because we went there early and luckily we did because all the tables were already reserved. The friendly waiter squeezed us in. This is the second time Ive been here (the first being a Sunday lunch) and at night time, I was surprised to find the usual outdoor seating area at the front of the restaurant walled off by wooden colored panes of glass (perfect to shield diners from the Brisbane chills). Last time I was seated outside and didn't have time to appreciate the decor of the inside. I loved the comic wallpaper and wooden seating that it provided - very rustic feel indeed.
We ordered a Moons of Neptune (seared scallop with cider braised pork belly, celeriac puree, apple jelly and fennel jam) and a Barbarossa pizza (Turkish style lamb, red onion, capsicum, mushroom, tabbouleh finished with yogurt dressing) plus a rekorderlig to share. The entree was sooo lovely! The scallops perfectly seared and the pork belly had just the right amount of fat (cf. the Alfred and Constance pork belly where after only one bite, i already felt sick). The apple jelly was a bit of a miss on the dish. I personally didn't feel like it belong. Beautiful on it's own but with scallop and pork belly? Hmmm. The pizza was also fabulous. I always loved the pizzas at the burrow. Ive always liked the thin base with a mountainous filling. I'm usually not a bit fan of tabbouleh and yogurt dressings but together with the mushrooms, capsicum and lamb - I really enjoyed it!
Definitely come here again ... next time I'm trying out the breakfast menu :)
