Things you've never dreamed of

The Riverview Hotel, Balmain

So we heard about this Balmain-Rozelle Gastro Pub tour that’s happening in October. We decided to check out The Riverview Hotel, heady with the promise of ~*~specially selected beer and wine~*~

When we got there, there wasn’t much in the way of promotional materials available for this thing, and when we ordered one of the items off the Gastro Pub menu there wasn’t a mention of any recommended drinks. The food made up for the apathy, though.

"Slow roasted pig, caramelised fig, wild rocket, skordalia & PX sherry dressing"

My pick - "Roast barramundi, confit dutch cream potato, cherry tomato, artichoke & prawn salad w/ tomato jam". This was delicious, the barramundi was perfect. This is also the shittiest photo I took of that night.

I forget what this is. It's a pizza with three different sorts of cured meat. I'm pescaterian this week and didn't partake. Ross said it was delicious, though.

I forget what this is and it’s not on the Riverview website. It’s a pizza with three different sorts of cured meat. I’m pescaterian this week and didn’t partake (let’s not worry about the bite I took off Rob’s plate). Ross said it was delicious, though.
