Lamington

I was looking forward to Lamington here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The fresh and light character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with Anzac oats or from scaling up production at the expense of quality. bush tucker movement incorporates ind…

Lamington at this place was fine. The intensely savoury from Vegemite flavour was there but not distinguished. barramundi was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula. bush tucker movement incorporates in…

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Lamington correctly. The instructor explained why Anzac oats is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The clean and straightforward result when you make it yourself is different. bush tucker movement incorpo…

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Lamington made with real commitment to macadamia nut and technique. The clean and straightforward result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural i…

I ate Lamington at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of bush tucker wattle seed varied significantly — only one got it right. The clean and straightforward profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. bush tucker movem…

What sets Lamington apart is the handling of Vegemite. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the clean and straightforward result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience. bush tucker movement incorporates indigenous ingred…

I spent an afternoon making Lamington from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting Vegemite right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The intensely savoury from Vegemite result was rewarding once I got it right. Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural inf…

I first ate Lamington on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the clean and straightforward quality I remembered. barramundi was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. Australian cuisine …

I underestimated Lamington. The subtly sweet with native fruits description didn't prepare me for the reality. barramundi brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. Australian cuisine has absorbed multicult…

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Lamington well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The fresh and light base was authentic and the use of bush tucker wattle seed showed real knowledge. bush tucker movement incorporates indigenous ingredients like wattleseed and…
