If you are familiar with Burger & Lobster, I think the whole lobster at The Rook in Sydney can beat that in terms of taste. Can’t quite remember how I chanced upon this restaurant when I googled for places to eat in Sydney. But I am glad I did 🙂 Conveniently located within the CBD area, The Rook seems like a popular chill out place. So I would suggest making prior reservations if you can.
At Burger & Lobster, you can choose to have the lobster grilled or broiled and it is served with a cream sauce accompanied by fries and salad.
At The Rooks, you get to choose the sauce from 3 flavours
- Citrus Vinaigrette
- Thermidor
- Garlic cream
I went with the garlic cream cos’ I usually like my seafood with garlic. I think it is more fragrant and tasty when cooked with garlic. It was really flavourful and they de-shelled the lobster flesh so you don’t have to struggle with your fork and knife (especially on a hot date). By doing that the sauce spread evenly around the lobster meat. Salad was very fresh and I totally love the thick cut truffle fries. Lightly crisp on the outside and a nice powdery texture on the inside.
The cocktail was pretty decent too. Had the Kentucky Cooler > Bulleit Bourbon, peach tea, Amaro Montenegro, lemon
Ended the meal with a dessert called Eton Mess > a huge dollop of whipped cream, fresh berries and meringue. Nothing quite fantastic though. I think you can skip the dessert.
