One of my old Aussie colleagues also recently moved to London, and so we decided to catch up over an Australian lunch at Scarlett Green. We sat in the window with the sunshine pouring in, and save for the noise of the Soho traffic outside, we could have been back in Sydney sipping on a crisp white wine perusing a menu filled with avo on toast, chicken parmiagana, and banana bread.
After speaking to our delightful waiter, we naturally chose some very Australian dishes. We chose to share; the banana bread sandwich, spicy tuna tostadas, halloumi fries, sea bream ceviche, a baby gem lettuce salad, and the aubergine parmigiana with twice-cooked duck fat fries. It’s safe to say we were very full when we left the restaurant! And of course the glass of crisp white wine which paired perfectly with the fish dishes.
Our entire meal was a riot of colour and flavour. We adored the tuna tostadas and sea bream ceviche, and the aubergine parmigiana was also a stand-out dish for both of us. The banana bread sandwich was tasty, but slightly burnt around the edges which overpowered the flavours of the dish a little too much. And of course halloumi fries are always a winner, but even more so with the labneh and pomegranate!
We had the loveliest lunch at Scarlett Green, and felt right at home surrounded by huge images of Bondi beach. Thankfully it’s just round the corner from my office in Soho, so I’ll definitely be popping in whenever I need my Aussie food fix (they even had huge lamingtons on the counter)!
