Passed by this restaurant many times & finally got to try this place for a weekday lunch. Was there from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. As I had made an online reservation, my guest & I were offered a window seat. The restaurant is quite big, however the tables in the area where we sat were set-up quite close to each other. Luckily Ricarda's wasn't very busy that day, otherwise it may have felt somewhat cramped up.
Our waiter & the restaurant manager were both very friendly.
We ordered the Toulon Flatbread (spicy duck sausage, sliced potato, red onion, egg, rosemary, stracciatella, $14) & Rigatoni (lamb ragout, grilled black kale and broccoli, rapini spread, aged parmesan, $18). Presentations looked as good as their tastes. Love the fried eggs on the flatbread, and the spicy kick was perfect. The rigatoni was cooked al dente and was very flavourful.
The restaurant also has a casual take-out outlet with freshly prepared sandwiches & baked goods.
Look forward to my next visit to Ricarda's!
