β€ŒThe Best Thing We Ate ⭐️

The best thing we ate was probably the tapas plate from Sanco. The plate featured 9 different dishes - how's that for spread!?

On Friday and Saturday, Sanco operate a omakase (degustation) only menu. We opted for their "Fuji" menu which was plenty of food!

CHICH

A very close second for best thing we ate this week came from CHICH - a small bar in Osbourne Park. CHICH's menu features a number of dishes hailing all the way from Macedonia. It was our first time trying Macedonian food and definitely not the last!
