My friend A really wanted to try the food at Hurricane's, renowned for their steak and ribs. Hurricane's, located at Bondi Beach is the more famous of the two restaurants with its prestine views but unfortunately it isn't open for lunch on weekdays. I love eating steak and wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity. The day was sunny, the weather was warm, making it a great day out to the city. Having lunch on friday during peak-hour meant that the place was busy, but we were lucky to get a table despite not booking ahead. We got a table right next to the window, with excellent views of Cockle Bay and the city skyline.
First up was the lemon, lime bitters. It was rather sweet compared to other ones I've tasted, but still tasted good and refreshing.
Complementary crusty, warm bread was served with spreadable butter. Delicious bread with an added crunch factor.
My friend ordered the half-rack of pork ribs with chips ($28.00) which was aplenty. Basted in Hurricane's own special rib sauce and grilled until tender. The serving was generous and as such, she struggled to finish the dish.
My other friend who wasn't very hungry after having a very filling breakfast opted for the short cut sirloin steak 200grams with chips, medium-well ($26.00). As noted on its website, the finest cut of Australian aged beef basted in Hurricane's secret sauce and grilled to perfection. As she didn't order any sauce on the side, she found it to be rather dry and overcooked.
I ordered the junior t-bone 400grams with chips, medium-well ($31.00) with pepper sauce ($2.50). The steak was tasty, tender and succulent but got over powering at times with the basted sauce. I enjoyed my meal but I still prefer the bistro steaks. Neverthelesss, it was a great place to hang out with friends whilst enjoying the view.
We also ordered a ceasar salad ($20) but due to my poor photography skills, the picture was blurry. The serving was small and there was way too much caesar dressing. I think I will skip this dish the next time I go to Hurricane's.
Overall, a decent place to have steaks and ribs but a little on the pricey end.
