EAGERLY awaited King Street Med and Middle Eastern restaurant Suri has revealed its new menu ahead of its official opening on Friday, March 10. ToM likes the look of its bold fusion of locally sourced seasonal produce with the spices and herbs of warmer climes.
Featuring a wide array of casual sharing plates, Suri’s menu is split into categories such as Graze, Field, Farm, Waves and Enjoy.and beyond.
Options from the ‘Farm’ section include spiced pork belly with crackling mustard and traditional Lebanese lamb with roasted garlic, tzatziki and pomegranate. The ‘Waves’ section offers seasonal fresh fish such as charcoal roasted, blackened hake served with a crab and mint salad, and the whole fish of the day traditionally cooked on the bone over charcoal and served with steamed shellfish and fennel wedges.
For veggies, the ‘Fields’ section delivers delights such as crunchy cauliflower florets with tahini, red pepper, smooth sesame and aubergine while the aptly named ‘Enjoy’ section offers desserts such as the ‘Polenta Baba’, a wheat-free lemon polenta cake, served with almonds, fresh figs and whipped sweet mascarpone.
The restaurant, on the site of the ill-fated Quill, is the brainchild of restaurateur Terence Langley, co-owner of City District (Fazenda), property investor and developer James Coubrough and property consultant-turned-restaurateur Andrea George.
The trio shared the same desire to create a flavour profile for Suri that reflected the Med’s rich heritage of culinary techniques and flavours passed down through ages.
Spread over an attractive two-floor conversion, Suri has been specifically designed as a backdrop to a relaxed and informal dining style – sunshine on a plate
