January 4 is Mum's birthday. We took her to Alto restaurant, at the top of Telstra Tower in Canberra, for dinner. It is a revolving restaurant which takes 85 minutes to complete a revolution. We opted to have three courses for $75 which was a good choice. The food was delicious - I had Duck and potato terrine, Crisp Pork Belly with handcut chips with aioli, and carrots, blue cheese and walnuts as sides and then chocolate delice for dessert - YUM!
I also had a mocktail - a sweet & sour apple.
Dad had twice cooked gruyere souffle, Angus steak with Brandade potato and burnt honey pannacotta with pear
Mum had Crab Fettucine, Veal with mushrooms ( they weren't Death Cap mushrooms - two people died in Canberra from eating those on New Years Eve) and Strawberry Bavarois. We all shared the sides - although Mum only got 4 small chips ( Dad and I scoffed those)
All in all a good night - great views, great service, big serves!
