Sono Japanese Restaurant | 202-210 Edward Street, BRISBANE CBD QLD 4000
I
was banned from eating sashimi for the entire period of my pregnancy,
so when I received an invitation to attend a Bloggers Dinner at Sono
Portside, I was overjoyed. Only days later that I had to cancel
because of minibun George's arrival and I was in serious recovery
mode.
Disappointed
and disgruntled, the other travel bunnie promised that he would take
me out to Sono once I have fully recovered.
So
last Friday, mum came over to look after minibun George while the
other travel bunnie and I had our first postnatal lunch date at Sono
CBD.
Sono
in the city provides several seating options, including a sushi
bar, modern seating as well as traditional floor seating. Knowing
that the restaurant would be busy, I made the reservation well ahead
for a table at the traditional seating area. In comparison to the
flash décor at Sono Portside, the venue in the city takes a
more simple and humble approach but that's not to say that you don't
feel a sudden rush of serenity upon arrival.
Given
the limited time that we had, both of us opted for their bento boxes.
Not long after, our lunch was presented by a yukata wearing waitress.
She elegantly placed a sashimi
bento ($35)
in front of me and a sushi
bento ($35)
for the other travel bunnie. The thing I love about bento boxes is
that you get to sample a great variety of beautifully prepared food.
Both of the bento boxes are served with shrimp cocktail salad, soft
shell crab karaage, miso soup, steamed rice and the chef's
special dishes, as well as a choice of dishes such as assorted
tempura or deep fried crumbed pork cutlets.
I
can't think of anything bad to say as I thoroughly enjoyed my meal
and every single element of it. I love Saké
Restaurant &
Bar for its contemporary twist on Japanese cuisine and chic
designer setting, but when it comes to traditional and delicious
Japanese food, Sono is an oldie but a very good goodie.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $76
