Libertine, No. 5, The Barracks. 61 Petrie Tce, Brisbane QLD 4000
I have always been attracted by the beautiful vintage chandeliers,
large round pillar candles, red metal chairs and matching chopsticks
placed inside of Libertine. It's mysteriously romantic.
Last
night we made a spontaneous decision to have dinner at Libertine, a
restaurant that serves Vietnamese French cuisine.
Upon
arrival we were advised by our über cool
host that a special set menu was available for Monday date night.
The
set menu ($85.00) caters for two and includes two Palace Cinema movie
tickets, baked Japanese scallops, wagyu tartare, BBQ lemongrass
chicken w' greens, their famous Byron Bay pork belly w' coconut
caramel and sweet potato. Additionally, you get dessert du jour (and
yesterday was banana fritters with coconut ice cream).
I
apologise for the blurry photo of the dessert, but it smelt and
tasted incredible and I couldn't resist but to quickly press down the
shutter and shove spoonfuls of the sweet morsels into my mouth.
The
highlight of the night had to be the pork belly. If you only order
one dish from the menu, this is it. The pork belly was sweet and
tender, to the point where it almost melted in my mouth. I'm a huge
sucker for pork crackling and Libertine did not disappoint me at all.
Personally,
I think the Monday date night promotion is a great deal and
definitely worth the dough. So if you have want to take your lover,
or just a fellow food lover out for a movie, perhaps consider
Libertine.

Bunnie Dollars Spent: $97.00
