| - Welcoming, elegant and rustic are the three words that sum up my first impressions of this restaurant.
In summary, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious and the servers are attentive, helpful and friendly.
I've been to this restaurant two times and I've been more than pleased on both visits. My first visit was about a year ago with my boyfriend and the second today, with my awesome ladies. Being that my visit a year ago was so wonderful, I wanted to try Bonterra's Big Taste Menu (2015). Although the portion sizes were small, I was definitely pleased with the delicious menu. On the menu for $25:
Course 1
Tortelloni - Shortrib tortelloni, brodo, white truffle oil
Course 2
Veal - Veal striploin, eggplant caponata
Course 3
Pavlova - Almond pavlova, vanilla bean meringue, almond cake, mascarpone mousse, chocolate
Impressions:
The tortelloni was very delicate, savoury and melt in your mouth amazing. The truffle oil was a nice touch. It was enough to enhance the flavour of the brodo and complement the short rib tortelloni.
The veal was tender and cooked perfectly. It was pink on the inside and toasty brown on the outside. The flavours were light allowing you to taste the sweetness of the veal. The eggplant caponata was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. A rather unique texture contrast.
The pavlova was presented in a very fun and different manner. The almond cake was moist, the vanilla bean meringue had a nice crunch and the mascarpone added a nice creamy touch.
I will definitely go back to this place!
