Ok so I've still got some left over posts about Canberra; this one is particularly relevent as Ottoman has recently opened a branch in Sydney. It's a very good restaurant, with inventive modern Turkish, but very expensive. So let's have a look:
Borek: fetta and herbs wrapped in filo, which was fantastic and simple.
Also had the signature 'Dolma: fresh atlantic salmon rolls of cray, prawns and fish; wrapped in vine-leaves, lightly battered served with a savory piquant sauce', which was complex, modern an interesting. Sorry, no photo.
Wonderful delicate white fish poached vegetables and a garlic mayonnaise.
Tomato cucumber and capsicum salad with lemon olive oil dressing,
Fantastic savoury meatballs with a tomato onion chickpea parsley sauce.
This was a wonderful dish, probably the dish of the night. Looks deceptively simple; veal with eggplant, spices, and a tangy lemon garlic yoghurty sauce. Really delicious and tender.
The less Turkish sounding steak with mash and red wine jus. But once again some decent garlic makes it good; although less impressive than the others.
Lamb rack with lentils and garlic confit. Tasty lamb, but the best part is the lentil sauce, wonderfullly savoury; I could eat this by the ladleful as a soup.
Chocolate slice with raspberry icecream.
Baked custard with mastik flavour cherries in liqeuer.
Moist semolina and orange cake with orange segments and orange sauce.
A sweet looking birthday cake for someone else, unfortunately.
The inside.
And all the awards.
Enjoy!
