Antipodea

The first indication that Antipodea is well-liked was the difficulties in the booking. This Australian-inspired café/brasserie is situated in Kew "Village", a green neighborhood close to the station with a few fine pubs, two nice cafés, some cute boutiques, and perhaps three restaurants. The idea behind this location, part of the Australian-owned Brew Cafe small franchise, was to inject a little bit of sunny Melbourne into this London neighborhood. It functions even while it is raining outside. Light and airy, with plants giving it a "conservatory" sense, the room has a distinct coziness from the raging fire. The open kitchen is mesmerizing and balletic. Diners are immediately at ease and disarmed because the staff is professional and laid back in an Australian manner.

The cuisine is dotted with Australian and Asian influences with some seasonal options. A colorful salad of pumpkin, pear, walnuts and gorgonzola served as an appetizer was simultaneously sweet, crunchy, and creamy. Pizzas, 45-day dry-aged steaks, and fascinating options like barramundi or whisky-cured pig ribeye are all available as main dishes. A gorgeous risotto with a strong flavor, plenty of mushrooms, pesto, and gorgonzola bits was served.
