the twisted fork

3 Glyde St Mosman Park 6012

Danny and I finally visited the Twisted Fork last night. It is a beautiful venue – small, intimate, low lighting; set in the quiet, almost spooky Glyde Street in Mosman Park. The specials were written in black pen on an old ornate mirror with a gold frame.

The food was fantastic – unfortunately we both ordered the lamb ($37) and so didn’t get to try much. The lamb was served as French cutlets stuffed with onions and herbs – it had a German flavour to it – that strong, almost mincey taste. It was tender, falling away from the bone as we devoured it. It was served with mushrooms, ‘poor mans’ potatoes, roasted capsicum, and a red wine jus. They had some very interesting things on the menu – pork trotter, steak tartare, violet crumble ice-cream, coffee panna cotta. I can imagine they would all be equally delicious and if I wasn’t so full I would have definitely hit the panna cotta.

Unfortunately the service was a bit average – there was only one man serving, and he just seemed too busy to give us any time.

$12 corkage for wine and quite pricey meals (around $30-35 for a main).
Not going to be this grublovers favourite restaurant, but it’s definitely worth a try. Although it is a bit on the pricey side, they were very generous serves, and it’s worth paying if it’s good. Check out Mosman Park video while you’re there if you’re into art-house or quirky films..
