Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe

dsc_5081.jpg 之前還在上班的時候,曾來過 Redoak Boutique Beer Café 參加過一次與客戶的社交活動,一邊品嚐多樣啤酒、一邊手抓小食品(finger foods)。這次來 Redoak 是想嘗試下其試菜套餐(tasting board),有幾樣小菜並附有搭配的啤酒。

Redoak 位於雪梨金融商區的附近,所以下班時間常會看到許多西裝筆挺的上班族在這裡社交、吃飯。與其他家啤酒店較不同的是 Redoak 提供的啤酒都是自己釀造的,而就我觀察列表的更動來推測,啤酒菜單似乎也會替舊換新。這裡啤酒的選擇眾多,還有各式各樣的香氣(aroma)與味道(taste),菜單上也會以這兩點來做介紹與區分。

挺著飢餓的肚子,我們迅速點了海鮮試菜套餐(Seafood Tasting Board)、青椒義大利扁麵配食草燻牛肉、菜心與芝麻菜胡桃青醬(Capsicum Linguine with Grass-Fed Double Smoked Beef with choy sum and a rocquette walnut pesto)。

海鮮試菜套餐總共有四道小菜,配上四種不同的啤酒。四杯啤酒的風味由淡至強,服務生建議由左到右、並混著小菜慢慢品嚐。

  • Seafood chowder with herb infused cream - 這讓我想起在舊金山美食周打蜆湯(Clam Chowder),濃濃的湯汁搭配淡淡的 Biere Blanche 啤酒,若能配上些酸麵包(Sourdough)就更完美了!
  • Atlantic Salmon souffle with avocado and lime compote - 軟軟的泡芙其實沒有什麼魚味,而 Honey Ale 一直是我比較喜歡的啤酒之一。
  • Sesame crusted tuna with Asian style coleslaw -甜甜鹹鹹的小菜有甜醬油和芝麻味,搭配的 Irish Red Ale 有種古色古香的風味,先吃再喝能抑制啤酒過重的口感,喝起來更順口…
  • Scallop wonton stack with wasabi cream, pickled ginger & baby coriander - 這道應該是印象最令人深刻的小菜,烤到微焦的干貝酥脆的炸餛飩皮,搭上 重口味的 Organic Pale Ale,十分暢快!

在吃主菜之前,加點了一瓶讓我們十分好奇的啤酒:Belgium Chocoate Stoute!是的,有巧克力味的啤酒。原來巧克力是指其香氣,而不是指其味道,以為啤酒也會甜甜的我稍微小失望了一下!

雖然份量不多,主菜青椒義大利扁麵十分美味,一點也不輸給外面的義大利餐廳,兩樣綠葉青菜煮得恰當,有彈性的麵條配上義大利青醬還有碎核桃、真是美妙組合!

另外我們也叫了店家的自製冰淇淋與雪葩(Redoak's Homemade Ice Cream and Sorbet)甜點來做收尾,是用啤酒和新鮮水果製作的喔!

Redoak 不僅提供數量眾多的啤酒,食物也非常講究!對於喜歡小菜配啤酒的人,豺狼強力推薦喔!

    Hello~ hello~, 好久不見,
    Read the english version, 還有中文版, suddenly didn't know which language to leave a message in, haha. Just realised today that there's two versions, must be a big effort to keep both updated and interesting. I can hardly keep one alive. Love the ' finished' site, and I can find my way around now, haha.

    Love this article, by just reading the menu and the pictures, it must be a great restaurant. Why can't they have one in Brissy???!!! The Belgium Chocoate Stoute has made me very intrigued. Cuz most people don't like beer for it tastes bitter. I don't mind beer myself, but just curious how 'sweet' beer would taste like.

    Keep up the food/ restaurant articles, just love them.
    PS, How much did you pay for the meal?

      Any language you want! 台語也 ok! 有看到迴響我就很高興了,呵呵!有空常來逛!

      Belgium Chocoate Stoute was not sweet at all! It's just that the aroma is similar to chocolate! ( I was slightly disappointed ... ) Are you a food lover as well? There must be a lot of fine restaurants in Brisbane as well right? If you ever get a chance to come to Sydney, I will surely give you a tour of my favorites!

      P.S. The whole meal was around $50 for two if I remembered correctly!
