Overview
Do you feel that? It’s a change in the air. It’s a little more humidity. It’s birds chirping a little louder. It’s flowers blooming brighter. Yep, the season is changing here in Brisbane. More than just political change has been in the air, and at local favourite Alfred & Constance a new menu has been brewing to make the most of summer’s seasonal produce.
Head patron chef Jocelyn Hancock has given winter the flick, introducing new soon-to-be-favourite the Josper grilled duck breast on a bed of watermelon cubes, Persian feta, mint leaves and toasted cashews. This bad boy works the refreshing feel of summer on your tastebuds.
While lots of old favourites didn’t get cut, other new notables include the lamb rack main with green beans and salsa, the chorizo scotched egg, crispy calamari, and house cured salmon with a crunchy Chester Street organic rye bread. Dessert has brought to life a not-too-sweet pecan pie with maple ice-cream and a classic Aussie pavlova with a lemon and passionfruit zing.
If you’re looking for us in the next six months, chances are we’ll be sitting on the deck with a Jumbled Julep cocktail in one hand and a fork in the other. Hello summer.
