Heartwarming
comfort food is chef/owner Annie Di Natale’s vision
for this season’s menu. With energy and style amid
the cosy terrace atmosphere lit by a crackling fireplace,
she’s
reintroduced dinners - and is spoiling the locals with some
deeply nurturing savoury treats. Wintry delights such as
a
juicy Pork Belly with Lentils, Star Anise and Soy Glaze, or a more-ish
Duck Confit with a big Potato Rosti and Beetroot Relish are
slow-cooked to not just enhance
the taste, but to prolong the infusion of heat. Yum is the word - with
three langorous m’s. Slice’s Osso Bucco is outstanding, while
diners looking for something different can enjoy Panfried Quail with
Crisp Procuitto, Rocket, Pear and Parmesan. Desserts are crowned by the
Chocolate Indulgence, and the coffees, since switching blends to Di Lorenzo,
have been flying around the place (if not literally). Great way to start
the day with such a beverage accompanied by the Breakfast BLT with Thick
Toast, Avocado, Roast Tomatoes, Two (perfectly) Poached Eggs and Crispy
Bacon - overall the brekky menu is spot-on. Lunch is an ever-changing
chalkboard affair, so life at Slice is never boring, as Annie constantly
reinvents delicious dishes to keep the locals’ appetites on their
toes! A few visits to Slice and you’ll appreciate why New Woman
magazine did a feature on her. What a role model ... a talented person
running a fantastic business, consistently producing affectionate and
satisfying cuisine.
