Outside the Kitchen: Green Pastures, Eastwood

So the dreaded date night came last weekend: where to eat?!

We discovered this restaurant in Eastwood that serve local and organic food and we were so happy that we had at least one option around the Metro. It was a bit pricy but knowing the prices of quality ingredients and the effort you have to put in preparing them, I guess it was pretty reasonable.

I wanted try their cauliflower rice but decided to choose the Chicken fried in duck fat and Carlo chose the meat on meat burger. We were so happy that they offered the option of switching the sides for sweet potato fries! We ordered their best selling melon iced. tea sweetened with raw wild honey, as well.

Well, the waiter came back to inform us that the sweet potatoes are not available and offered us regular fries. I patiently told him I can’t have potatoes nor rice. He came back only to offer us RICE. Not fun. I mean cmon if we wanted fries and all that, we could’ve chosen a less expensive restaurant. We asked to pay the difference to have aaparagus ana mushroom and after a long discussion in the kitchen, They let us change the sides at no extra cost as a one time courtesy. All good. 

After all that hassle, the burger came with buns lol. Oh well. Carlo had it while i sliced a bit from the juicy burger patties.

How was it? It was delicious actually. From the mains to the home made roasted banana ketchup to the sides- everything was made thoughtfully and excellently. Still too expensive for everyday meal for my standards but not a waste of money in my opinion.
