Zambri's for Lunch - Another from my Top Five Restaurants

Celebrating 10 years feeding lucky Victoria, Zambri's, owned by chef Peter Zambri and his sister Jo, continues to satisfy. The daily lunch menu of Italian-inspired fare is written on a chalkboard.

The daily antipasti is in full view, as is the kitchen. Hi Peter!
Today, a crostini is one of the things on offer layered with provolone, eggplant, fennel and Zambri's signature tomato sauce. I'm in.
But first a hearty bowl of soup with pork ribs and chickpeas. Hearty and immensely satisfying on a fall day.
A beautiful organic salad accompanies the crostini, and Peter surprised us with some super picoso chilies. Sweet, fried and served with sea salt. 

Check out that salad!
Then came a perfect chicken dish. Chicken thigh and leg, deboned and panfried - tender and succulent. Served simply with lemon alongside an organic spinach salad with celeriac slaw and house dressing.
Delicious! 

Thanks, Peter. We'll be back time and time again. Lunch and dinner.
