Hi everyone, I’m not going to bag a restaurant but I am going to look at the sort of misleading publicity that got me going to a certain restaurant today. Pulp Kitchen in Ainslie has been tauted as a breakthrough in the canberra eating scene, it has been reviewed as the sort of establishment that brings the tradition of eating out 2 or 3 times a week within the reach of your average citizen. This is simply not the case. There you go now we have the negative bits out of the way lets look at the good stuff

A smart and sleek refit has bought the old bernadettes site well into the modern era dark greys and off whites with tasteful paintings and all important finishing touches that make the new venue completely unrecognizable as the former. The modern European cuisine is on par with the sorts of menus silo and sage have both been presenting for some time now. It is not trying to copy however and it becomes apparent that Pulp has its own style and flair not open to direct comparison in canberra. I order Grilled Cotechino Sausage with a Warm Lentil and Hazelnut $17and my wife chooses the Roast Mixed Mushrooms on Soft Polenta, Chilli Oil and Garlic Bruschetta $15 both entrée. in the absence of a kids menu my 3 year old has grilled parmesan bread as a special request. My dish is awesome if a little on the small side for what I was expecting. The creamy lentil salad has the appearance of black river pebble in a creamy dressing and has a delightful firmness to it. The 3 pieces of sausage appear hand made and have crispy edges to the soft and yielding center. my wife’s polenta is wonderfully creamy the crusty Bruscetta and mushrooms gently roasted to perfection. After the meal I am pleasantly surprised at the feeling of fullness the follows, the small size is really just a trick of the eye thank goodness. Now I may sound a bit like tight arse but in order to eat any where 2 or 3 times a week at any restaurant maybe you have to be living in Ainslie with no mortgage and the sort of golden handshake we all think we deserve but never get. On the positive side if you are going to try a new restaurant in canberra you will not be disappointed with Pulp kitchen so give it a go if it was below standard I would certainly not be writing about it on my site have a good one, Dave
