I decided I’d come back here just a couple weeks later, mainly to see if I could grab the duck.
Kangaroo Tartare (warm spices, coriander carrot purée, sardinian flatbread): excellent. Lives up to the hype.
Dry Aged Duck Breast (wood oven roasted, roasted baby carrot & spring onion, fermented persimmon sauce): I don’t get it. It was extremely chewy! I’m used to duck that is akin to the texture of medium rare steak. Instead, this was hard to fully chew, with no texture or noticeable grain—just mush. Unpleasant. The skin was good, but the meat itself had very little taste. I am confused. Didn’t like this at all. Hours later, it doesn’t sit right in my stomach. But maybe I’m the problem.
My visit to Foxface was once again a mixed bag. Now I will truly let it rest for a while and only think about another dinner there many months from now.
