We are blessed in The World of Norfolk with some wonderful eating places. In fact there are over 20 of them and they provide cheap and cheerful meals right through to fine dining.
And one of the newest is Norfolk Blue at 100 Acres. Owned by Robyn and Paul (Jap) Menghetti, this restaurant, bar and grill is a ‘must do’ whether you live here, or are visiting.
The setting is magnificent. The restaurant is in an old Norfolk Island home set in lush sub-tropical grounds, with some of the most beautiful shrubs, ferns and flowers imaginable. It is a magic space. The restaurant is approached along the avenue of old fig trees that is so well-known and loved by so many, and it does something good to the soul as you pass by these wonderful trees.
The BAUNTI team enjoyed lunch there on Sunday. The food was a delight. We enjoyed entrees of pork spring rolls, seafood chowder soup, and cannelloni, with herb and garlic bread. Main courses included herb crusted chicken with mango sauce, mushrooms with fetta cheese, sundried tomatoes and polenta chips, with an avocado and garden salad. But the house specialty is the house cuts of steak, and Joade enjoyed a 300 gram cut of scotch fillet, medium done, with mushroom sauce. Yum! And the desserts made Deb and my day. We chose the warm chocolate pudding with baileys fudge sauce, cream, and berries. It was superb. Deb suggested it just might be the best ever!
The chocolate fudge dessert - yum!

Yum, Sounds fantastically delicious.
We have been 'meaning' to go there, it sounds like it is time to make a time and date.
I would go for the desserts alone!
We are lucky here on Norfolk, aren't we.
