Sunday Lunch at Henry Sugar in Carlton North
We enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch experience at intimate and fun Henry Sugar bar restaurant in Carlton, which features locally-sourced dishes and a strong cocktail game, with everything made fresh and in-house.
Henry Sugar is up there with the best of the Melbourne bar restaurant scene; from the delicious food from seriously gifted chefs, to the excellent and interesting cocktail and wine menu, knowledgeable engaging staff, and modern fit out in a great part of town. Henry Sugar shines among venues in Carlton North.
Highlights included-
Bloody Good Mary Cocktail (lives up to its name)Traveling Tales Martini with @travellingwhilestanding.still gin (unique with a salty rather than citrus style gin)Focaccia and caramelized butter (focaccia perfection)Puff pastry with leek and goats cheese (excellent flavours and elegant)Tempura enoki, black garlic dressing, pickled daikon (great seasonal dish, enjoyed the textures and moorish dressing) Stracciatella, roasted fennel, carrot, orange (rewarding dish and love the fennel, carrot and orange for added flavour)Flank steak, celeriac purée, cocktail onions (steak cooked to perfection with another killer sauce/purée) Fighting Gully Road Sangiovese (top notch Beechworth) Red baby cos, fermented grape dressing, almonds (a worthy dish in itself not just an accompaniment to the steak)Hot chippies (crowd pleaser)Chocolate Bundt Cake with Whisky Cream (perfect way to finish)
