We were down Middle Park way again, well, actually Albert Park, and had dinner at Ricardo’s.
It was a warm January night, and things were busy, but the staff were attentive and always there at just the right moment. We had a booking, and knew we had to sit outside, which was fine (the street is relatively quiet), even though it’s not really my style.
The menu is quite extensive and was complemented by a number of specials. Everything we ordered was really good. In particular, my scaloppine came with an interesting sauce, with a tomato/chilli zest added to the traditional white wine/lemon flavor. The bottle of Montepulciano went down well, too.
There’s proper linen (becoming rarer these days!) The prices aren’t cheap, but fair value, all things considered.
And the area was really “buzzing”. I’ve been to this strip during the daytime for coffee, but I hadn’t realised how much activity there is here in the evenings.
