Lumo

Umami and rich, the Japanese leek crowned with marinated trout roe, salted kelp, and oyster emulsion ($16/ ala carte) was a wonderful starter too (especially if you like leeks). An intriguing mix with the sweet charred greens, creamy sauce and briny pops of ikura.

Lunched in style at Lumo. All for their $38 3-course lunch set, I particularly enjoyed the Orzo pasta with Angus beef cheek, celtuce, garlic confit, and celeriac puree ($23/ ala carte). My first time having the small, flat, oval, grain-shaped pasta and I am in love. With a pleasant gentle chew, the delicate and smooth pasta managed to soak up the all-great savoury, garlicky flavours. So comforting and surprisingly hearty. The beef bits were also fork-tender and not gamey. What’s more, the super nutty, celery-like flavour of the celeriac puree was very complementary.

Recommended dish
1) Ice plant- it has a very nice texture to it. Interesting dish!
2) Burnt cheesecake- im a fan of burnt cheesecake and this cheesecake definitely didnt disappoint! But it is on the pricier end!
3) Smoked cod fish liver dish- went really well with bread
4) The lumo- sweet!

The ice cream had a good flavour, it's almost savoury, kind of like scamorza. However it's too runny

The rest of the ingredients provided some sort of freshness, but there's too much basil oil.

I only had their desserts but both were not particularly stunning. Not sure why they're always full house, maybe the mains are better?

Very pricey.

I liked how the yoghurt cream was not sweet at all, just sour. The burnt cheesecake was good on the first bite, exemplary in texture, esp the creaminess and density. However after a few bites it turns into occasional greasiness, and the mild flavour means that the other smells in the air overpowers it.

Overall it's ok only

Amazing food.
