The FAT Website est. 1999
On Friday, we had dinner at Park Road in Milton for our friend Chrystal’s birthday.
I love Park Road. It’s the same street I used to work on when I managed the Service Centre and it is basically an extensive strip of cafes, bars and restaurants. Like Lygon St in Melbourne but about 1/500th of the size.
Allegria Bar & Bistro is Chrystal’s favourite restaurant in Brisbane and why wouldn’t it be? It has a warm and inviting decor, a friendly manager named Guiseppe who greets her by name and a healthy range of Mediterranean cuisine that was well priced and absolutely delicious. Just look how hearty and flavoursome these dishes look. They were every bit as tasty as they look. I should know. None of the girls could finish their swordfish or tornado beef so I gave them a hand.
Tornedo of beef wrapped with jamon over confit potato & garlic with madiera jus
Porchetta Slow roasted pork belly on sauted silverbeet, almonds, raisins & quince aioli
Baked swordfish with cherry tomatoes, capers, capsicum & olives on green beans and spinach
