#360 Adria Rybar & Grill @ Cockle Bay Wharf, Sydney
After a not so great dinner at Kura Japanese Casual Dining, my sisters and I went back to Darling Harbour again but this time to catch the beautiful night view of the harbour. We kept snapping pictures and walked all the way to Cockle Bay Wharf and decided to find a restaurant to have desserts since all three of us are such sweet tooth. We were looking at the menus of each restaurant and decided to try the following…
Adria Rybar & Grill
Cockle Bay Wharf, 108 The Prom,
Darling Harbour, NSW 2000, 2000, Australia
+61 1300 989 989
Adria Bar Restaurant has a beautiful welcoming exterior that looks so enchanting. You can either choose the outdoor dining area or the indoor seating. It is so obvious that most people would prefer dining outside as we can admire the beautiful Cockle Bay Wharf as they eat and have their never-ending conversations. The bar is also quite noisy to hold any conversations so sitting outside will be better. The server was very professional in his work and took time to explain all the desserts to us and even recommended us his favorites.
FIRST VISIT: 17th March 2013
Since we were quite full from our dinner, three of us just shared a plate of Chocolate Fondant that costs us AUD$12 (USD$10.71 / CAD$11.74 / SGD$13.57). The dessert comprises of a molten chocolate lava cake, zabaione cannoli and a scoop of ice-cream topped with icing powder, chocolate sauce, strawberries and pistachio nuts. As you put the lava cake into your mouth, the chocolate oozes out and it literally melts. It is gratifying consuming the hot chocolate and ice-cream at the same time. Zabaione is basically light custard filled in the well cooked pastry dough called cannoli.
SECOND VISIT: 21st March 2013
The second time I went to Adria Bar Restaurant was with Sam only. Bella needed her quiet time so Sam and I left our hotel and had dinner at Zaaffran before heading to Adria once again. This time, we decided to have the fresh crepes instead. Since crepes with hazelnut chocolate is usually the norm, we chose crepes topped with mixed berries instead. The set is also served with a scoop of ice-cream and the total for that was AUD$12 (USD$10.71 / CAD$11.74 / SGD$13.57). The crepes were done relatively well but I have tasted better ones. I preferred the Chocolate Fondant over this but both are still as delicious as can be.
