Glass Wine Bar - $20 Cheeseburger, Fries and Wine lunch deal

s there a meat-lover/comfort food lover who doesn't like a massive burger with thick juicy beef pattie? None I think. Cheeseburgers have been a long running success and popular amongst comfort food lovers. Even McDonalds chains would confirm that for you.

Look at all the wine!

My beloved readers, let me ask you this: What if someone uses high grade beef such as Wagyu in their burger and served in a place like Glass Brasserie at the Hilton Sydney Hotel with wine, would you be interested? I certainly was! Especially when I found out about their $20 burger and wine lunch deal! My friend Tonkosu Bexx and I could not resist this lunch deal.

Luke Mangan white wine

First, a glass of Luke Mangan's awesome white wine was served (which is normally $13) Perfect for a midday drink!

Wagyu cheeseburger, Fries, tomato sauce and pickle (hidden behind the burger)

cheeeeeeesseee!!

The Wagyu cheeseburger, as the name describes it, uses Wagyu beef in their big juicy burger patty. The amount of awesome cheese was very generous. It also has slices of fresh tomato, barbeque sauce and bacon. The taste from each bite confirms the meat's high-grade quality. The other two things I love about this burger is the perfect bun and a generous amount of cheese! It also comes with perfectly crisp fries and a pickle, yes a whole pickle on the side, for the picky eaters who aren't big fans of pickles, there's an option to have it with your burger or leave it out.

Cheers!

This burger and wine deal for $20 is available for lunch only and for a limited time. My lunch at Glass Brasserie was very yummy for my tummy! How's yours?

The Glass Brasserie - at the Hilton Sydney Hotel

Days, months and years come and go. But the special ties with that special someone; we should cherish and not let go. It seems like it was just yesterday when Mrs Ramen Raff and I got married. Where did the time go? I really wanted to make our anniversary this year special. So, I made a dinner reservation at the Glass Brasserie. Making someone feel special is one of the things Glass is very good at.

The Glass Brasserie is located at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney. Internationally acclaimed interior designer Tony Chi came up with the stunning design of this 240-seat restaurant. By day, the earthy colours, high ceilings and modern design utilises the use of natural light and by night, it is one of the most romantic spots in Sydney. The staff were fantastic! We were looked after well from the time we stepped in and all the way until we left.

Local restaurateur, Chef Luke Mangan, is the culinary expert behind the amazing menu of Glass Brasserie. Chef Luke Mangan and Chef Joe Pavlovich uses precise French cooking techniques to come up with a contemporary twist on classic dishes. One could say that Glass offers French/Modern Australian dishes, which are also influenced by an array of international cooking styles. The use of fresh local produce is very evident with every bite of their food.

Parmesan and truffled fries

The Parmesan and truffled fries ($13) was a winner from the start! Crispy fries with a balanced amount and flavours from white truffle and Parmesan cheese.

kurobuta pork loin with miso crust, braised cheek, daikon, shallots, broad beans, black fungi, and dashi broth

We each had the kurobuta pork loin with miso crust, braised cheek, daikon, shallots, broad beans, black fungi, and dashi broth ($43) is the perfect example of what Glass Brasserie cooking is like. It is a Japanese/Asian influenced dish where French cooking techniques have been used. It is the epitome of a dish with clean and well-balanced flavours. The tender and succulent pork cheeks were my favourite. The pork loin was perfectly cooked. It had a hint of miso taste that works perfectly with the dish.

toffee soufflé with pecan butter ice cream

The highlight of our dinner was the toffee soufflé with pecan butter ice cream ($20). What made the night extra special was when the chefs took the extra mile by writing the words "Happy" and "Anniversary" on each of our dessert plates. The soufflé and ice cream were absolutely amazing. The soufflé has perfectly risen with an inside that’s soft and gooey. There was so much awesomeness in the taste. The pecan butter ice cream was delish.

For whatever special occasion you may be celebrating or if you are after an excellent fine dining experience, Glass Brasserie is the place to be. Our dinner at the Glass Brasserie was very yummy for our tummies! How's yours?
