Volpe Nera

Simply stunning. Fabulous food, service and lovely small dining room. An open kitchen ads a pint of interest. We were lucky enough to meet Barry Sun as we arrived for our much anticipated meal for 6 of us. The menu is quite small which I love. Every dish was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Starting with sourdough and brown bread accompanied by the orange and hazelnut butter. Needing a top up on butter wasn't a problem. We ordered the mushroom dumplings with aged soya, fennel and herb oil. The dumplings looked amazing. We loved this fish. The broth was perfect. We then shared the aged beef for two. Stunning and quite a size which would be plenty for three people. The beef was accompanied by a large halved shallot and a beautiful beef rib for each person sharing along with crispy potatoes. We ordered sides of salad and the char grilled cabbage. Desserts were special. We shared the Sorento lemon cream and one of our friends ordered the warm chocolate mousse. A couple of bottles of delish La Braccesca Montepuciano did the trick. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and agreed this was something extra special. Thank you Barry. You and your team made our family catch up truly special.
