From Hobart's Elizabeth St yous tin glimpse Ethos Eat Drink's cute courtyard through a passageway. Sometimes there's a carte du jour on display, sometimes not. Last twelvemonth nosotros noticed the eating topographic point but didn't view - the dinner carte du jour looked expensive in addition to non especially veg-friendly, in addition to nosotros couldn't attract whatever service at breakfast time. This twelvemonth our local friend-in-the-know Liz offered to mass us inward for a banquet then nosotros figured we'd give it a shot.
The Ethos ethos is all most minimising touching - they've fitted out a historic edifice alongside salvaged in addition to recycled accoutrements in addition to an energy-efficient kitchen; they concentrate on local consumables.
I peculiarly appreciated the noun carte du jour of non-alcoholic drinks, which included house-made lemonade, cola, ginger beer in addition to other cordials ($4-5.50 per glass). The elderflower in addition to lilly pilly drinks were both light, sweetness in addition to refreshing.
We got started alongside crusty bread, butter (for the non-vegans) in addition to salt.
The olives in addition to cornichons were cute in addition to non also briny, though perchance upstaged yesteryear the crunchy-fried chilli-salted chickpeas.
Tempura saltation onions looked a petty bedraggled in addition to were difficult to share, but the crunchy gluten-free batter won me over.
Of their 3 ways alongside zucchini, I most liked the caramelised (roasted?) one.
The greenish salad included more purslane, in addition to a surprising dose of salt.
Us vegetarians were served haloumi, in addition to nosotros were compelled to percentage some of it alongside the envious omnivores across the table.
Beans came scattered alongside to a greater extent than salty difficult cheese.
The sriracha-dressed gai lan mightiness convey been our favourite dish, then fragrant in addition to spicy.
The vegetarian savoury dishes culminated inward a perplexing mix of tender carrots inward a tea-infused butter, scattered alongside nori in addition to walnuts.
For dessert nosotros shared huckleberry sorbet, stewed rhubarb in addition to fresh berries, covered inward a silky, warmly spiced pepper leafage custard.
We had petty sense of the meal's construction inward advance but happily grazed for several hours. Staff were cheerful in addition to really accommodating, planning a feast to accommodate a mixed grouping of omnivores, vegetarians in addition to vegans addition an overstimulated baby. (There was enough of room for the petty one's pram, high-chair in addition to other gear too.) I liked the atmosphere - it's a petty fancy but non at all stuffy.
Though the degree of expense in addition to locovore sensibility are comparable to Garagistes, our Ethos sense was really different. It seemed a house to express joy in addition to tumble a petty vino alongside friends, rather than guffaw over the modern fine art plated earlier you. Nevertheless, veg*ns in addition to others alongside special dietary requirements are likely best off shelving the spontaneity, making a reservation in addition to giving the kitchen their best lead a opportunity to feed everyone well.
