Barossa15

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.

Barossa8
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.

Barossa12
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.

Barossa14
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.

Barossa19
Grilled U.S. Asparagus with Bearnaise 4/5

Barossa20
Sauteed Rosemary Field Mushroom 4.2/5

Barossa21
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.

Barossa11
Ora King Salmon "The Wagyu of Salmon"

Barossa17
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.

Barossa22
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.

Barossa23
