Freya @ Stanley Street - Modern Mediterranean Restaurant with Two Different Dining Experiences During the Day and Night

IMG_7322

Freya at Stanley Street, a modern Mediterranean restaurant, offers two distinct dining experiences under one roof. During the day, the focus is on flavorful, nutritious salads and healthy grain bowls, while at night, you can enjoy modern Mediterranean cuisine alongside fine wines and cocktails.

Potato Pave 4.5/5

We began with the Potato Pave ($10), a crowd-pleasing starter. These potato mille-feuille bites, made in-house by compressing layers of thinly sliced potatoes, were pure deliciousness, especially when paired with the cold sour cream.

Beef Croquettes 4.5/5

The Beef Croquettes ($20) were more than just your typical croquettes. Each piece was a chunk of crumbed, coffee-braised beef cheek, and the contrasting crust accentuated the tenderness of the meat. The avocado cream on top added a luxurious mouthfeel.

Bresaola 4.2/5

The Bresaola ($12) was like a canapé, featuring air-dried Wagyu Bresaola with ricotta cheese and mustard on sourdough. The combination of savoury bresaola and milky ricotta was excellent for both mouthfeel and taste, with the mustard providing a final kick of flavour.

Carrot 3/5

The Carrot ($18) dish had the potential to be a great dish. The grilling of the young carrots could have been executed better to achieve a more tender texture and a more intensified sweetness to pair with the smoked feta. The savoury cashew nut crumbles offered a delectable crunch to the dish.

Mussels 4/5

For the main course, we had locally sourced Mussels in fermented chilli rice wine broth ($32). The broth had a mouthwatering aroma that appealed to all senses, and the plump mussels were best enjoyed with a glass of white wine. The restaurant has curated a selection of wines if you want to indulge.

Apple Tart 4/5

The dessert was good. The Apple Tart ($16) featured house-made apple filo parcels served with vanilla custard and candied walnuts. The apple filo was perfectly crisp with tender cinnamon-y apple cubes, but the custard could have been less sweet.
