We're back at Matterhorn for dad's birthday. I'm constantly impressed by their rotating menu, capturing seasonal, local produce.
Entree
Trevally, Israeli couscous, tamarind, coconut, citrus, chilli
An interesting combination of flavours. Really summery with lots of fresh fruit flavours on the plate - blood orange, apricot, mandarin, strawberry and coconut. The trevally doesn't taste fishy at all, and it's smooth and appetising. Great way to start the meal.
Mains
Wagyu Beef flank, sweet corn, corn brioche, picked onion
Really good. The beef is well respected and definitely the hero of the dish, with the accompaniments highlighting the savoury and sweetness elements on the plate. Again, great summer feel with the corn and picked onions. Everything has been thought about carefully and works well together. The meat is perhaps a smidgen dry, but the juiciness of the corn and the excellent wine match, a pinot noir, more than makes up for this.
