30/06/2018 - Oakridge

Location: 864 Maroondah Hwy, Coldstream VIC 3770

Today is my partner's birthday!I have heard rave reviews of this place and I booked this place in about 1.5 months before today to secure my booking. I have booked this place via Dimmi and it gave me a sms with a link to confirm my booking. 

The place was pretty empty when we first arrived.
Guided to our table with an awesome view!
We were then shown our menus and we ordered the following:
  • Kangaroo cabanossi, picked onions (starters)
  • Soft Baked celeriac, smoked salmon roe, egg yolk sauce
  • Smoked trout, caviar, cultured cream, caraway croissant
  • Ox tongue, cipollini, garlic, black truffle
  • Rainbow Trout, brussel sprouts, shitake, trout XO
  • Beef Cheek, mountain com meal, chestnut, black truffle
  • Lamb, braised greens, chickpeas, coriander yogurt
  • Pear, parsnip, hokey pokey
  • House-made Jersey milk semi hard, condiments
  • A glass of white wine (Chardonnay)



Menu for Starters (goes well with wine)

Main Menu with Entree, Main and Dessert.

50% kangaroo meat + another type of meat which was quite tasty indeed. The bread was not very soft but warm.
I love the roe. Oh so sinful!
The trout entree which looks so pretty!

The ox tongue which was quite well cooked.
 
Rainbow Trout which tastes pretty good!


Beef cheeks which was very very tender and easy to slice.

Lamb which looks so so pretty. Just look at those chickpeas having fun on the yogurt!
After all those meals, we topped it off with 2 desserts, a glass of chardonnay and 2 coffees to finish it off! In my opinion though, the desserts were not as amazing as it sounds.



The wine was really smooth! 
 
Cheese was too hard but the cracker was cracking!


Wayyy tooo sweeeeet for me!



Damage: Average about 276 AUD for 3 pax. Its a pretty expensive place to have lunch but it is my partner's birthday so as long as she is happy, I am happy! :D
