Black Toro and Food Porn

Hello again,

The boyfriend and I tried out a new restaurant that opened up in Glen Waverely called Black Toro.

I would call it modern mexican/spanish food. I don't really eat this type of food very often so I was excited to try it out.

We went for a set menu where the chef decides what we eat and these are the dishes we got.

After some oysters with tequila and lime we had Grilled corn with chipotle mayonnaise and toasted masa. The sauce was really nice.

Next was a Scallop ceviche, radish and citrus oil. We ate all the scallop and left a lot of the radish. haha

Crispy cuttlefish and Spicy aioli. I really like aioli so I liked this dish a lot.

These are really adorable Wagyu Sliders with a tomato relish. So tasty and cute.

The main was slow cooked Pork Belly, Chickpeas, Chorizo and Tomato.

and finally for dessert, Creme catalan with a almond and cocoa-nib crum. I guess it's like a spanish creme brulee with a crumb over the top.

The Black Toro had some really good food, we got quite a feed with their set menu and it was VERY good value for money. If we had ordered those dishes separately it would've been MUCH more expensive. 

The restaurant's interior is very nice but the service could do with some improvement. Everyone was very friendly but you can't help but feel that the staff were quite young and inexperienced, fresh faced waiters and waitresses who just got their RSA. Despite all this i'd be happy to come back for a good meal, definitely try it out if you love this kind of food.

Until next time~
