Everything Is Cooked With Wood Fire In This Restaurant
Say hello to the charming new European restaurant-bakery Firebake, whose chef-owner trained at a three Michelin star restaurant in Switzerland.
Norwegian Blue Mussels with Chorizo
Organic Australian flour and wild yeast is used for making the restaurant specialty — wood-fired sourdough bread — of which there are five types here (which includes Valley, a fruit-studded rendition). The bread is also served with hearty European dishes like 4-Spice Chicken Liver Pate ($12) and Norwegian Blue Mussels ($25) with chorizo.
