May 11, 2007: Gertrude Street Grub - The Builders Arms Hotel

Update, 31/12/2014: The Builders Arms has been Cutler together with Co, Cumulus Inc together with others) together with has gone pretty upmarket. This ship service is non illustration of the pub anymore.

TrippyTaco to chase upwardly somewhere novel to blog. Things cruel into house on Fri though - the leftover provide dried upwardly on the alone solar daytime of the calendar week that The Builders Arms is opened upwardly for lunch. From the outside, The Builders Arms is a pretty average looking pub - a few tables on the street together with a fairly grimy looking populace bar - but if y'all wander through the door at the dorsum of the populace bar, y'all abide by yourself inwards a bizarrely garish pinkish restaurant. It was likewise much for me, together with hence I ordered chop-chop together with scurried dorsum to i of the exterior tables where the illusion of an old-fashioned pub could endure maintained. The carte du jour is a few steps from touchstone pub fare, amongst a vaguely Middle Eastern experience - tagines, Turkish meatballs, haloumi etc. There aren't dozens of vegetarian options, but at that topographic point are enough: a dhal, unopen to assort of artichoke empanada, vegie skewers together with a few smaller bits together with pieces.

 This ship service is non illustration of the pub anymore May 11, 2007: Gertrude Street Grub - The Builders Arms HotelI went for a plate of nibbles: ouzo marinated olives, Moroccan separate pea dip, Turkish breadstuff together with a few slivers of crunchy cucumber ($14). It was a fine combination - the dip inwards detail belongings all the flavours together with textures together. It was a chip of an oily choice for a workday lunch, but the cucumber cutting through it all a fiddling together with helped me pretend I was beingness healthy. The prices hither are a fiddling prohibitive past times my standards, but my commitment to documenting the Gertrude Street scene (and my predilection for olives) meant that it was worth stopping inwards at to the lowest degree once.
