Circa - St Kilda

Circa has long been on our list of restaurant to visit and we are glad that we were able to visit it a few weeks ago.

We ordered:

Spanner crab salad. This entree was beautiful to look at and tasted wonderful. Each bite was a different taste and texture. There is the saltiness of the spanner crab, creaminess of the dressing, sweetness of the greens. Pretty perfect.

Burnt octopus with beef jerky. What a combination, right? The octopus was cooked beautifully. It was tender and very flavourful.

Cobia with cucumber. Another entree we enjoyed very much. The fish was done ceviche style, it was very refreshing.

Flinders Island lamb with celeriac puree. The lamb was cooked medium rare. The meat melted in the mouth, it was good. We avoided the fatty bits which haven't rendered.

Wagyu and mustard powder.

Blood plum ice cream. Very sour. Would not order this again. Was also quite surprised that the wait person did not mention anything about the dessert being sour.

Overall dinner was wonderful. We were seated by the window so we could admire the sunset views. Unfortunately, the dessert was too sour for us but there were plenty else to praise in this restaurant.
