Lunch at Cheek by Jowl

2 courses for $30 without a 3rd for dessert, is a fairly reasonable price for a set lunch in the CBD for this quality. It was Australia Day when we came, and seem to enjoy the Appetisers and Starters more than the mains rather.

These would include an appetiser of a roasted  Jalapenoes sprinkled with salt and a Raw Oyster topped with frozen tomato Granita. An excellent appetiser with the Granita savoury and chased with a raw French briny Oyster. 

The chosen Starters, my dry aged Wagyu tartare was simply amazing. Comparable to what I had in Korea, quality raw beef, with a firm bite without a raw taste to it. Sweet and savoury enhanced with the cured salted egg yolk.

The main, a Barramundi, was left with a rather disappointing feeling. A fish cooked well, but without a wow factor. I'd rather have a grilled Snapper at a Chinese restaurant without any frills anytime. The charred lettuces were okay...
