If you’re on the hunt for a traditional Sunday roast in Sydney, then look no further than Kitchen by Jamie in Maroubra. Passionate about bringing great English food to Australia, chef Jamie Dyball brings the best of the UK to Sydney’s food scene in this fresh and vibrant café in the Eastern Suburbs.
During the week, Kitchen by Jamie serves tasty café fare with choices like burgers, schnitzels and salads. But on a Sunday, you have the choice of a traditional beef roast dinner with gravy or crispy pork belly with apple sauce and a dessert of either sticky date pudding or rocky road brownie.
The Viscountess chose the traditional beef Sunday roast which was served with delicious house made gravy, duck fat potatoes, carrots, confit garlic, horseradish cream and of course the unmistakably English Yorkshire Pudding. The roast beef was cooked absolutely perfectly and was so tender and juicy but paired with the delicate horseradish cream, it made you stop and say “wow, that’s good”. The Yorkshire pudding was so fluffy and soft, the Viscountess couldn’t help but eat the whole (enormous) thing.
The pork belly served with the Viscount’s Sunday pork roast rivalled the best we’ve had on the Sydney restaurant food scene. The skin was so crispy that you could hear the crunch of every bite, and the meat was cooked so well, with the fat rendered away just perfectly. The apple sauce it was served with was sweet and so packed full of flavour, it really took this dish to another level. Served with carrots, potato and confit garlic the dish was packed full of flavour.
For dessert, we were treated to whiskey sticky date pudding with a toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream. It’s so easy to make a dessert like this sickly sweet, but this was so well balanced, we couldn’t help but finish the whole thing. The addition of fresh mint helped to cut through the sugar with a lovely freshness. The sticky date pudding was so soft and gooey, it was an absolutely delicious dessert.
Kitchen By Jamie serves great food in a friendly setting. It’s extremely satisfying and you certainly won’t leave hungry!
A big thank you to Jamie and the super friendly team for hosting us for Sunday lunch. We can’t wait to come back and try the rest of your menu.
