Feeling a bit peckish after my meal at Dynasty I decided to try something very different. Southbank Grill is attached to Rydges. It is not only a meat restaurant but it is really a bistro style steak house.
It occupies a simple room with bare tables. Quite unpretentious.
Service was pleasant and efficient.
I was pleasantly surprised to be offered an amuse bouche, a smoked salmon pate made with Brie on a slice of cucumber. Something easy to do at home and very nice.
I took the opportunity to order a very very rare Kangaroo loin (300 gm for $30), which included my choice of sauce and a side dish.
It came exactly as ordered
with the red wine jus in a small pot and a little edible micro salad decoration. The jus was excellent, not over reduced, and really added to the taste of the dish.
A side dish of beer battered chips, normally $5 was enough for two. Obviously hand cut they were also excellent.
They also make their desserts (all $15 ) in house but I was tuckered out by now.
Score: 15/20

Southbank Grill has quite reasonable charge for meals. Those beer battered chips make me hungry! I love chips!
