Spain comes to town with fresh and simple produce
Taking
residence at the former site of Italian eatery Barbagallo on Lonsdale, The Aylesbury is a sure fire winner for Jesse and Vanessa Gerner (Anada). Few can boast that organic and hard to find
produce is sourced just 4km from your doorstep and this is reflected the owners’ seasonal menu.
Eat:We
started with a couple of zucchini flowers with goat's cheese and honey which
were ever so sweet.
The
gnudi, think ravioli without the pasta casing, partnered well with green peas
and burnt butter sauce. A side of duck
fat potatoes, made even the hogget’s smokey aubergine blush.
The rabbit burger was light, mini and simply amazing! Cooked sous vide with duck fat, its charred and snuggled inside a brioche bun with pickled cucumber. Note that one is no way near enough.

Drink: While I waited, the staff’s recommendation of an Aylesbury Summer (white Rum, ginger syrup, grapefruit, mint, lime served in a Boston shaker glass) proved a delightful and refreshing companion. A couple of notable Spanish varietals were also worth sampling.
