A Chronicle Of Gastronomy
+4
The wines are well priced, partly because of Fortify's specialisation in Italian wines, which are not only very fine drinks, but also better value. The Dauphine potato croquette, topped with slivers of prosciutto, is incredibly smooth. The choux pastry included in its mixture adds extra decadence in flavour and texture.
We had been meaning to come in this new place for a while, the new happy hour (4-6:30) tilted the scales. Was suspicious of the google and Facebook reviews both over 4.5/5 especially one person saying it was the best service they have ever received.
Well they were right!
Ordered the charcuterie for 2 ($45), moules frites $25, and the sticky date pudding $11. All 3 were outstanding, mussels special was the highlight. I was told the secret ingredient was juniper.
For drinks I had the Iranian saffron cocktail and the wine of the week, which was Greek. Both amazing.
Music was louder and on point, even if there were some people at the bar a little rowdier than most, they really are positioning themselves as the 'fun' place to be in Armadale with the games and all. This area needs it badly, and as long as they don't raise their prices, I'll be back.
Easily the best bar in the surrounding area, with awesome staff, atmosphere, and a great selection of drinks which are surprisingly affordable.
