We met a dear friend for lunch in Annandale this week. She suggested a cafe close to her work - Revolver - at 291 Annandale street.
After 5 minutes the staff found the four of us a table. The most difficult thing about this place is choosing what you'll order! B and P are at the age when we need to order an extra dish (such a shame :)). We can no longer afford for them to eat what they want from our plates (because we don't end up with much). The kids were starving and ratty this day but we managed to hold it together until the meals arrived which were a:
Revolver veggie stack with sweet potato, roast capsicum, zucchini, spiced eggplant, grilled haloumi & a mixed seed & rocket salad $15.50 (which was promptly un-stacked by little hands)
and,
Free range confit of duck on roast beetroot purée with green lentil, hazelnut & radicchio salad w a red wine vinaigrette $17.50
I like a good duck dish but it's not something I usually order. I am so pleased I did. The skin was crispy, light and caramelised and the meat was tender and melted in my mouth. The accompaniments were perfect and the prices of the meals very reasonable.
When my friend was renovating this year she feasted on the nine hour roasted lamb bruschetta with house made hummus fire roasted capsicum relish & almonds ($15.50). The young energy of the lamb gave her the energy to 'keep up the enthusiasm' that is synonymous with renovating!
Revolver is open 8-4 which is a shame because I'd make the trip for dinner with J. We'll just have to make an excuse for a lunch date sometime!
