Fresh Bluff oysters
The Clarendon restaurant is certainly worth a visit if one is in the garden city of Christchurch. The menu of the day promoting fresh seasonal Bluff oysters caught our attention. The rest was easy as we were ushered to a nice spot under the cosy outdoor umbrella.
The kind waitress explained the Bluff oyster arrived yesterday and were limited since the harvest commenced about a week ago (end of Feb 2010). The oysters were fresh, juicy with the taste of the sea and nice hint of metallic iodine. I say there were beautiful.....
Pesto & Funghi Risotto
Duck Breast
For the mains, we had pesto and funghi risotto and Asian spiced duck breast with kumara mash and duck filled croquette. The risotto was awesome and worth another visit to savour this delightfully cooked rice dish. The duck breast was well prepared and the croquette give the dish a different twist.
Desserts
I can't finish a meal without desserts. We ordered two desserts to share. The strawberry parfait and apple -vanilla mousse with green tea jelly. The strawberry parfait served with rhubarb and strawberry sorbet on encased cone.
