For Scott’s 29th birthday we went to a\u00c2\u00a0restaurant\u00c2\u00a0called Attica for a fancy night out. \u00c2\u00a0 So, I’ll warn you: this blog will mostly be about food.<\/p>\n

We had been wanting to go to Attica for a while since it has been winning a number awards including most recently the 73rd best\u00c2\u00a0restaurant\u00c2\u00a0in the world by San Pellegrino (and Melbourne’s only\u00c2\u00a0restaurant\u00c2\u00a0to make the list). \u00c2\u00a0 And since we recently moved within walking distance from the\u00c2\u00a0restaurant, I thought Scott’s birthday was the perfect opportunity.<\/p>\n

Scott dressed up for dinner in his new b-day "Aussie" hat (He didn't actually wear this to dinner.)<\/p><\/div>\n

When we arrived we were surprised that it was a very small\u00c2\u00a0restaurant sitting no more than 25 people, but it just added to the atmosphere. \u00c2\u00a0We decided on the five course\u00c2\u00a0tasting\u00c2\u00a0menu (which also included a small\u00c2\u00a0appetizer\u00c2\u00a0to begin and a little surprise at the end).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Small appetizer of broccoli, formage blanc, and vinaigrette<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This had some amazing textures with the cold lump crab meat, "hot" horseradish snow that melts in your mouth, and a pop of salmon roe.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Potato cooked in the earth that it was grown<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Quinoa crusted snapper with broccoli and broth<\/p><\/div>\n

Next we got a beef dish with potato and bok choy with we totally forgot to take a photo of. \u00c2\u00a0Then was desert. \u00c2\u00a0I think this was my favorite because it was light and when they brought out the “shredded wheat” topping it smelled like apple pie backing in the oven.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

To finish we each got a chocolate egg<\/p><\/div>\n

Overall, it was a great night out. \u00c2\u00a0And I think we will be back to Attica to try their test nights. \u00c2\u00a0This is where they test out new dished for\u00c2\u00a0their\u00c2\u00a0tasting menu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
