Fog Bar and Restaurant
Review by Monica

Located in the heart of Prahran’s hip Greville Street, Fog Bar and Restaurant is a gastronomic delight, resembling the class and sophistication of a typical New York eatery. Architects Wood Marsh have filled this space with highly polished black floors, art-deco mirrors and a combination of crimson lighting and halogens, which transformed the table into a runway for the dishes on display.

Their wine list boasts both international and local wines, not to mention an array of French champagne and elaborate cocktails.

Fog is home to Albuquerque chef Jeremy Sutphin who serves up a fusion of American, Japanese, European and Mediterranean dishes.

First up, the Sashimi of Ahi Tuna ($19) delicately presented as nine square tiles served in a light soy and jalapeno-infused sauce, comes complete with three Spanish onion rings, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a fine slice of jalapeno. The Crab Cakes ($18), served with watercress and Chimichurri sauce was another winner with South American flavours.

Next course, the Braised Veal Ragout ($28) with succulent baby veal, came served with a salty sauce of tomatoes, onions and Kalamata olives, topped with finely shaved parmesan. Presentation is definitely the key, as dishes are carefully arranged in order to highlight the theme ingredients.

The Vanilla Bean Crème Brulée ($14), a recommended dessert, is a sweet sensation for the palate, accompanied with fresh berries.

After completing your dining experience to the sounds of spiced-up jazz, the adjacent bar with patio awaits with enticing rhythms. With rich and intense flavours, Fog presents a fine dining experience without the white tablecloths.
