hanging out with foxy
Posted on 14. Mar, 2010 by Jaye in Lunch, Restaurant
We’ve been to Red Hill many a time but we always went to the same place.. T’Gallant.. Red Hill Estate… same old, same old! On this occasion we traveled there for Reniar’s birthday! Tim decided it was time to try some new places. The second stop on our journey (which coincided with lunch time I might add…) was Foxy’s Hangout.
As you park your car at Foxy’s and walk up to the heavy wooden door, you could be forgiven for not thinking much about the outside of this venue. But from the moment you step inside you will be swept off your feet. The space is small a bit like a large kitchen, with simple wooden decor; it certainly feels like home. The large floor to ceiling windows lead out onto a deck that continues on with green rolling hills and vineyards that unravel before your eyes.
We promptly parked ourselves at wine tasting counter. Whilst sampling the sparkling wonders that Foxy’s had to offer, the smells from the open kitchen over came us and we quickly became distracted by the massive blackboard with an amazing sampling menu. As we argued over which ones we should get our host suggested that we try them all. Hooray for degustation! It didn’t take long for us to agree and put the T’Gallant pizza’s on the back burner once more! What proceeded was eight courses of yumminess…
Marinated Olives with Feta
Zucchini Fritters.
Grilled Quail with Lemon
Nina and I missed on photographing a couple of the courses; these included: Mushroom encased in Vine leaves and Mint, Tomato and Goats Cheese Salad and.
Lamb Meatballs
Avocado, Speck and Walnuts
St Agur, Caramalised Fig and Lavosh
I suggest you get your butt down there next weekend and partake in this feast – go with an empty belly! Foxy’s Hangout can be found 795 Whitehill Road, Red Hill, Vic, Australia. http://www.foxeys-hangout.com.au/
Props to Nina for the photography!
