Set in an iconic Princes Wharf location, Somm Wine Bar & Bistro not only affords its guests incredible, waterfront views but is also home to what is perhaps the city’s most impressive collection of wine, which, when coupled with consistently tasty food and a laid-back vibe, makes it the perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon or evening with friends.
This month, the clever kitchen team have crafted a new menu brimming with tasty, comforting dishes perfect for indulging in as we settle into autumn. Here’s what we’re ordering:
01. Kashmiri chicken skewers with mint yoghurt & pickled onion
Kashmiri, for those unaware, is a beautiful Indian spice with a similar flavour profile to paprika, and here, it lends these juicy skewers a subtle heat and tonnes of flavour. Perfectly paired with fresh herbs, zesty pickled red onions, and a beautiful yoghurt dressing that balances the flavours beautifully, this is a must-try dish, perfect for sharing.
02. Peppers pizza with courgette, feta, olives, and oregano
When it comes to pizza, Somm knows what’s good. Made with a 72-hour poolish dough (a technique that delivers a lighter and more airy texture and a soft but structured crust) these pizzas are uncharacteristically light, and come adorned with some of the tastiest toppings in town. This new iteration has our attention, pairing crisp, in-season peppers with courgette and a selection of Greek-inspired extras that are the perfect balance of decadence and simplicity.
03. Fried cauliflower with chilli jam and basil
Sometimes, you need to mix it up, and this delectable fried cauliflower coated in a sticky chilli jam is a fantastic way to do just that. Sweet, satisfying, and with just the right amount of heat, this dish is the perfect warming way to start a meal, particularly when accompanied by a crisp white wine and enjoyed in Somm’s cosy dining space.
