Barossa Bar & Grill latest outlet at Vivocity offers an entirely different experience from its Esplanade branch. The new Vivocity outlet focuses on dry-aged Australian beef and Josper oven-grilled lamb, poultry and seafood dishes. It serves only the highest quality and carefully sourced meats from Australian farms.
Ah Hua Kelong's Tiger Prawn 4.5/5
Our dinner started with the locally farmed Ah Hua Kelong's Tiger Prawn ($26). Three huge and meaty charcoal-grilled prawns rest atop a bed of charred kale, shio kombu garlic beurre noisette and pickled onion.
Barossa Steak Tartare 4/5
After the hot appetiser, we moved on to the cold appetiser featuring Barossa Steak Tartare ($26) consisting of smoked oyster aioli, ponzu jelly, pickled red onion, wasabi zuke, egg yolk and crisp bread.
Australia Full Blood Wagyu Ribeye MS7/8 (300g) 4.2/5
Not to be missed is the steak at Barossa that has been dry-aged for around 25 days to 50 days subjecting to the type of cuts. Grilled using the Josper charcoal oven, the Australia Full Blood Wagyu Ribeye MS7/8 ($98) is tender and juicy with a golden-brown crust. It has a deep buttery, caramelised flavour developed through the dry-ageing process.
Australia Premium 50-day Dry Aged Porterhouse (600g) 4/5
Great for sharing is the Australia Premium 50-day Dry Aged Porterhouse ($138). Though the porterhouse is not intensely flavoured compare to the Australia Full Blood Wagyu Ribeye, it has its own character with a more meaty texture bite that has its own fans. Each beef dish at Barossa is served with garlic confit and a choice of sauce. The sauces include Whisky Double Mustard, Chimichurri, Tarragon Bearnaise, Red Wine Bordelaise and Truffle Brown Jus.
Grilled U.S. Asparagus with Bearnaise 4/5
Sauteed Rosemary Field Mushroom 4.2/5
Barossa Macaroni & Cheese with Smoked Bacon 4.2/5
You can also order some sides to go along with the steaks. We tried the Grilled U.S. Asparagus with Bearnaise ($12), Sauteed Rosemary Field Mushroom ($12) and Barossa Macaroni & Cheese with Smoked Bacon ($8). I could not really pinpoint, which is my favourite as they are all excellent sides to go with the beautiful steaks.
Ora King Salmon "The Wagyu of Salmon"
Iberico Pork T-Bone Chop $32
For the non-beef eater, not to worry there are other Josper oven-grilled dishes such as the Ora King Salmon "The Wagyu of Salmon" ($35) and Iberico Pork T-Bone Chop ($32). The New Zealand king salmon is cooked to a beautiful pink, succulent and richly flavoured with a crispy skin. The pork chop fares as well too. With its lovely marbling, diners will get to appreciate the tenderness as well as the nutty-sweet flavour.
Jasmine Infused Smoked Fig Mochi Cake
Moving to the desserts, we had the Jasmine Infused Smoked Fig Mochi Cake ($18) and Frozen Dark Chocolate Whiskey Souffle ($18). The Jasmine Infused Smoked Fig Mochi Cake has a delectable chewy texture accompanied by jasmine white chocolate ganache and passion fruit gel.
Frozen Dark Chocolate Whiskey Souffle
As for the Frozen Dark Chocolate Whiskey Souffle, it comes with a wonderful medley of fresh berries, chocolate pearls and spiced crumble.
Diners seeking value for money meal will not be disappointed with the 3-course weekday set lunch starting from $28. To celebrate its opening, Barossa Vivocity has 50% off its second mains from 20 November to 6 December 2020. On top of that, it has free corkage on Mondays and Tuesdays till 31 December 2020.
