This New Surry Hills Restaurant Serves Up Just One Dish Each Night
Fine dining minus the agony of indecision.
If you're the kind of person who goes out for dinner but never quite knows what to order, Hoost in Surry Hills could be the restaurant of you (and your fed-up dining companions) have been waiting for. Now open on Fitzroy Street, this European-style eatery, named after the Danish word for 'harvest' takes the decision out of your hands by only serving one main dish each night.
Unveiling a new menu at the beginning of each week, owner and chef Samantha Pok hopes to provide diners with a different experience every time they visit, crafting food that draws upon fresh seasonal produce. "As there is only one main dish on offer a night, I am able to fully focus on the quality of the food served," says Pok. "I will also be marrying lots of Asian flavours and ingredients with others into the upcoming dishes, keeping everything quite simple while still aiming to deliver flavours and textures with a punch."
Some of the dishes that Pok has conjured up so far include pork belly with leek confit, oyster mushrooms and lemon and black pepper shortbread crumbs, some sticky lamb ribs with charred pomegranate molasses and Spanish onion, and black garlic stuffed chicken breast with pickled strawberry and chamomile tea butter sauce.
In addition to the mains, the menu will feature a number of different entrees and desserts. Start your meal with harissa roasted bone marrow on toast, and finish it with milk pudding and a fizzy strawberry-rolled doughnut topped with sour cherry compote.
Hoost is located at 98 Fitzroy Street, Surry Hills. Their opening hours are 6-10pm Tuesday to Saturday. For more information, including their latest menu, check them out on Instagram or visit hoost.restaurant.
