Fresh with the memory of chomping down tapas in Spain, we went to Black Toro in Glen Waverley and ordered the banquet for two. For $45 pp, these were the dishes which arrived on our table in good time (i.e. didn't have to wait 15 mins between each dish):
Oyster with tequila and lime - Fresh!
Potato and chorizo croquette - salty, deep fried, fluffly, what else can I say.. yum
Mezcal cured salmon, avocado puree, smashed coriander meringue & salmon roe - delicious! Loved the coriander meringue which was so light and dainty. Lovely combo.
Deep fried soft shell crab - the sauce around the plate was very hot! I like the thought of soft shell crabs, but dislike the taste which is usually fishy because it comes frozen.
Wagyu beef sliders - It was filling.
Roasted barramundi, marinated tomatoes, olives and radish - The fish was crispy, but the star of the dish was the marinated tomatoes which were savoury and sweet with strong tomato taste.
This is considered a grande plate (main) but the size is small, only one and a half slice of barramundi. This was the last dish of the banquet, we were hoping for more meat. After we left the restaurant, I decided to hop next door to Ocean King and get a take away serve of char siu and sausage to fill up.
Gaz ordered an extra dessert of frozen Nutella parfait, broken tres leches cake, toasted meringue & banana. I think we will try another dessert the next time.
Still missing the tapas in Spain...
