BROTH = Bar Restaurant On The Hill

BROTH (Australian)

I patronize this cosy Australian eatery situated on the quiet hill amidst the busy chinatown and the night scene. It reminds you of those small side street that brings you charm and away from the busy main road in France where you can find nice restaurants but not much crowd. This is one such place. The cute thing is the road is pebble-paved. So ladies you might find it hard to walk with your heels. (I was practically on tip-toe) I kinda like the place cos it reminds me of my days in Europe. I also like it because it is quiet and nice to chill out.

The ambience is cosy. Good for hanging out with a gang of friends to catch up with life. So couple looking for nice romantic place, I dont think this is the place for you. The restaurant is renovated from shop-house so it is pretty enlongated with a tinge of renaissance feel. So this is where you feel things slow down alittle. In fact, it reminds me of a restaurant in Sicily, South Italy. For ladies, do make sure you are accompanied by guys at least cos the road leading to the hill is pretty messy with a line of clubs and disco. There is a public carpark just outside the small street. The pebble street is blocked off so u cant drive your car in. But dont worry, the walk wont kill you. If i can walk, I dont think anyone has a problem with it.

Menu wise, the selection is very limited. I had the beef fillet with blue cheese and cripsy mushroom. Yummy! The beef is round-cut. I like how the taste of the sauce mix well with the spinach. GooDelicious! The pricing would be upper mid-range. Main cost around $26-$34. I had rocket salads with melon and capaccio too. Nice! My favourite! However, the rocket salad taste too raw though. Either there is not enough vingar or they serve the more mature & rough greens than the young ones. Surprisingly, I was full by then. The portion may not look huge but it is definitely filling. So I didnt try the dessert. I am happy with the food and the ambience. Definitely one restaurant I will patronize again if I am in the area or if I am meeting friends working in Raffles Place but it is not one of my hot favourites.

For you, it is worth a try. Good to check out nice cosy restaurant in the side quiet street. That is the joy of living and the fun of discovery.
