I was reminded last night that despite having a great night out at Astonish, I was yet to pop a review up on Zarimassage. Oh no! Fear not, I’m here to spill the goss on Adelaide’s latest dessert spot (set to lose it’s title very soon I’m sure as another dessert opening is always round the corner).
The two chefs behind Astonish are Le Cordon Bleu (or LCB to us TAFE kiddies) graduates, originally working in kitchens in Sydney. It really feels like a lot of work and love has gone into this place, and the overall appearance of the store is gorgeous.
But hey, as a few other dessert bars around town have shown, it’s not all about atmosphere. If you want to have a great dessert bar, well in my books you need great desserts.
Astonish try their hardest, and I’m pretty happy with the results.
The menu features two sections. The simple things like cakes, tarts, & mousses, and then the more extravagant dine in menu. The smaller stuff is around the $7 mark, but the dine in menu is a little more expensive and will set you back about $12-$18. There are some very interesting (and delicious options), but I did find a few elements of the dishes didn’t quite work.
The panna fire was an interesting and delicious dish, with a bombe alaska and a slab of vanilla panna cotta. But as a combo they didn’t quite work, and would have probably been better as their own stand out dishes. But the giant profiterole on the other hand was amazing, with a crumble on the outer shell that gave great mouth feel, and a filling of ice cream and caramelised banana. YUM.
I think Astonish is stil finding their feet, but their desserts are well thought out, with enough pizazz to stay interesting but without going too crazy and alienating some diners.
Is it worth the extra price tag? I think so, but I believe that there are a few dessert bars around Adelaide that are worth a lot more than what you already pay.
