Tuscan Terrace | 850 Mount Cotton Road, MOUNT COTTON QLD 4165
Recently
dad came over for a visit from China to meet his first grandchild.
Usually the other travel bunnie would plan a weekend getaway for the
four of us, but given this time round we have a new member of the
family who's only teeny tiny (at the moment), we decided that it was
best to have a day trip somewhere.
So
on the way to the Gold Coast one weekend, we made a detour to
Sirromet Winery and had lunch at Tuscan Terrace overlooking the
vineyards. The idea of Tuscan Terrace came after the owner took a
trip to Tuscany years ago and although it doesn't mimic the Italian
affair to its perfection, the ambience is nonetheless inviting and
relaxing.
Offering
a selection of flavoursome dishes ranging from salads to wood fired
pizzas and homemade pastas, the menu is surprisingly affordable for
the quality of the food. For
lunch, I had the Tuscan
salad with chargrilled duck sausage ($22.90),
which was served with fresh mozzarella, wood fired roasted pumpkin,
cherry tomatoes, pine nuts with chilli, honey and red wine drizzle. I
loved that salad. The duck sausage was so flavoursome and the salad
tasted fresh with just the right amount of dressing which had a sweet
note to it. As for the other travel bunnie, he ordered the Sirromet
signature slow braised lamb shank ($25.90),
which he managed to smash in less than ten minutes. So I'd say that
it was pretty tasty. The chargrilled
pear salad ($24.90)
served with chargrilled chicken breast, sun dried tomatoes, fresh
asparagus with basil and evo dressing as well as the executive chef,
Andrew Mirosch's
own line caught fish of the day
($27.90) didn't disappoint my parents.
Generous
portions with a rustic touch and a bottle of wine on the side, I have
to say that lunch at Tuscan Terrace left a good impression for all of
us (not to mention giving us all the prefect excuse to soak up
some winter sun...)
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $127.60
