A very cute venue - Image : E&M Pasta Bar
Our recent Sunday lunch at Eat & Meet Pasta Bar was a very filling affair, when I say the portions are large, I'm not kidding. So bring your appetite to this casual new venue, but keep in mind it is
BYO WINE ONLY, however, there is
no corkage. A bottle shop is located conveniently across the road.
Salmon Carpaccio
We started with the
Carpaccio with garnish and grissini (i don't recall receiving the grissini) and, at
$18.90, comes in a choice of
Salmon,
Beef or
Kingfish. They were out of Kingfish so we went with the Salmon, and, I liked it a lot.
I Love BBQ Octopus, the flavour was so good
I love Octopus so I couldn't go past the
BBQ Baby Octopus tossed with baby spinach, herbs and olive oil, also
$18.90, generous in portion and really tasty. I loved this dish.
Linguine with crab meat - so yummy
For the pasta, we tried the
Linguine with crab meat, cherry tomato, garlic, chilli, fresh basil and the
Fettucine Gamberi, both
$27.90. Servings were generous, plenty of prawns and for once, enough crabmeat that you actually knew your dish contained crab meat. My favourite was the Linguine, it was a very tasty dish.

There didn't seem to be a kids menu, not that we asked, so my 8yr old had the
Potato Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce at
$24.90 . It too was a decent serving, probably too much for a kid but that's okay, there was plenty left over for us to try, so I will give that the thumbs up as well.

We did notice a
specials board after we had ordered on a wall towards the back, the waitress neglected to mention any specials, so look out for that in case you want more options.
