Oberstrasse's specialty clearly lies in rostis evident with the different variants on the menu. Rostis were crisp on the outside and soft inside but very well seasoned. Coffee was good too
Dinner at Brine was really. Flavours were clean and not too overpowering and consists of 4 shared plates and 1 individual main course and dessert
Sharing plates:
Duck Rillites and Sourdough - good flavour
Salad - Was flavourful with a touch of brininess from that tuna/anchovy dip
Parmesan, onsen egg, potato espuma - a nice touch to make the egg the star. Goes well with the bread too
Pasta - well flavoured with a strong mushroom flavour that would have benefitted from abit more acidity
Main: Confit Chicken Leg, Sticky Rice, Ginger, Scallions - A very big and flavourful dish for the portions so far. The rice was almost risotto like but definitely retains that asian flavour and bite! Innovative and very generous
Dessert: Smoked Hay Semi Freddo and Chocolate Textures - The star finish. Smokey ice cream with chocolate soil and shavings. Balanced and not too cloying.

We had the De Ole Barn Burger that came with salad and fries for $15. Burger Patty was juicy and the fries were well sessoned and crispy. The margherita was good for its price at $12.90, could use more tomato sauce to cut the richness but they were generous with the buffalo mozerella. With the burpple beyond deal. $15 for 2 pax was a steal
