Rubicon is one of the more highly esteemed fine dining restaurants in Canberra, and beautifully decorated with that 90s karaoke film-clip lighting to it (i.e. everyone looks warm & blurry). The back end of the restaurant is a restored shed with fairy lights adorning the ceiling – amazing to look at.
Above: Some random sausage-esque appetizer served prior to entree.Entrée: Crisp pork belly on baby spinach, caper aiolo and calvados cider glaze (pictured below) – melts in your mouth. At first I was hesitant about trying the yoghurt sauce but the pea/lentil gives it extra texture & tang.
Zucchini flowers - stuffed with smoked trout and blistered corn, pinot reduction and parmesan
Main:
BBQ chermoula spiced lamb fillets, parmesean and rosemary polenta chips, baby broccolini and tangerine yogurt (pictured above) – good optimum between chewy & tender texture, had a szechaun spice with a tangy yoghurt sauce and polenta chips – fluffy, savoury taste.
