It was kinda hard to fine somewhere that was open on Christmas day (evening of the 25th). Most of the top places in Australia close for the holidays.
We settled on Skyline which did have a lovely view off the edge of the city. Funny too as it’s atop a tall building for Adelaide — but is perhaps only 5 or 6 stories!
The Christmas menu.
The gang in the dining room.
And even a shot of me.
During dinner the sun went down right in front of us.
Goats Cheese Tart. Beetroot meringue, succulent salsa.
Seared Scallops. Coral emulsion, chorizo crumb.
Salad.
Side vegetables (kinda like the Nicoise minus the tuna).
Simple pasta for the boy.
Fish & chips.
SA Kingfish Nicoise Salad. Green beans, kipfler potatoes, heirloom tomatoes, sous vide egg.
Lamb Backstrap – Hay Valley Farms. Beetroot leather, burnt butter beans, roasted beets, goats cheese.
Ice cream.
Chocolate brownie. Honey caramel, toasted macadamia, burnt honey ice cream, egg nog foam, puffed black rice, candied muntries.
Vanilla Panna Cotta. Rosemary short bread, confit rhubarb, balsamic jelly, strawberry jell, native mint.
A fun enough meal — although the kitchen was more clued in than the servers. They had that super friendly Australian thing going, but they were pretty clueless and made a bunch of mistakes.
