Restaurant Of The Month: French Toast
Don’t you
just sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of choices one is faced with when
choosing a restaurant? If you are a
creature of habit like me, you tend to stick to the places you know and trust.
But where’s the fun in that, right? So, in an effort to rectify this
predicament, my new mantra for this month is to step out of my comfort zone,
and to explore new places.
It has
become evident to me that no matter how well you think you know your
neighbourhood haunts, there always seems to be a little gem tucked away amongst
the impressive structures of the city. One
of those gems that has been revealed in my explorations, is French Toast wine
and tapas bar.
Situated
in Bree Street
The
interior consists of lavish, comfortable leather couches, exposed brick walls
and beautiful rich wooden and metal fixtures. The unique industrial features of
the bar are credited to the fact that the building was originally used as a
city warehouse.
One can expect
a comprehensive range of national and international wines, which one can sample
through their “wine flight” menu. This
entails a choice of three 50ml glasses of wine of your choice, accompanied by
tasting notes. If you feel the need to
soak up some of the excess wine, you can choose amongst their impressive
variety of Mediterranean style tapas.
The cheese
platter offers a satisfying array of local and international cheeses, and can
be enjoyed with delectable salty charcuterie ( Italian montanara, salami,
Italian parma ham, Spanish chorizo and jamon Serrano) served with olives, caper
berries, and basket loads of ciabata.
On a
sweeter note, the dessert menu include treats such as churros con chocolate (small
deep fried doughnuts served with chocolate sauce), or French toast accompanied
by dessert wine or Port. Even though
this is not the cheapest tapas bar I’ve ever visited, the quality of their food
and service makes it all the worth while. A definite must!
