Zucchini

Zucchini Review

The focus here is on free-range, organic, fresh, and seasonal food. Chances are the salad on your plate has been freshly picked from the organic garden outside. The result is tasty, imaginative, healthy fare that's served in generous portions. Vegetarians won't know where to start. The menu changes regularly, but think roasted vegetables of the day served with sweet potato fries, a garden salad, and a veggie cigar (a golden phyllo-pastry tube stuffed with vegetables and feta) or the lasagna, layers of grilled vegetables with herb and egg fritters and mozzarella. There are also homemade pastas, soups, sandwiches, and a range of salads served either roasted or raw. Meat eaters take heart, you have not been neglected. Venison frikkadells (meatballs) are served with a buttery potato mash and beetroot chutney, and there are steaks served with potato wedges and dishes like slow-cooked lamb shanks with potato mash and roasted vegetables. The setting is a charming, rustic wooden cottage, and guests are encouraged to linger over their meal. Zucchini's is part of Timberlake Farm Stall, which has a range of artisan and organic shops and a kiddies' playground.
