My latest awesome restaurant discovery is a place on Botany Rd (Botany) named Agape. http://www.agaperestaurant.com/Agape_Restaurant/About_Agape.html
It's a Greek word which has several meanings including 'a love feast as a sign of love and fellowship'. It was an amazing find for us - a stylish restaurant with awesome, modern organic food...and chandeliers!!, in Botany of all places.
We received a menu in the mail one day which piqued my interest. Then one night I was returning home late and saw the chanderliers twinkle as I drove past. A few days later I checked eatability and was amazed by the reviews - could it really be that good?!? Well it is, and I've now been there 3 times in the last month. The second time we went was with our dear friends W&P who were visiting us from the UK. We delighted in the organic Krinklewood wine, and organic spelt pizzas (moroccan roast lamb and proscuitto and rocket). But as usual the stand outs were the fresh green beans in garlic (I could happily eat that every day), the slow roasted pork belly and the luscious hazlenut macaroon dessert. Those beans might be the best I've ever had - the freshness of the beans with the simple fresh garlic butter is just heaven. The pork belly was truly succulent, with perfect crackling and a delicious aroma. I am sometimes wary of pork as I hate the smell of 'old hog' that you sometimes get but this was perfect.
I'll be going there for my 30th birthday next week - I have no doubt it will be a memorable night.
