Next up, the yellowtail tiradito is a zingy showstopper. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with punch, the rocoto dressing and pickled kumquat bring out the fish’s natural sweetness in a way that’ll leave you speechless. Then, there’s the Australian Wagyu striploin. Imagine a perfect balance of smoky char and melting tenderness – this is the art of BBQ, Japanese style. The crispy exterior gives way to a melt-in-your-mouth centre that’s all umami goodness. It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to slow down and savour every single bite.
And if that’s not enough, the menu keeps delivering with jaw-dropping bites.
The Spaghetti Mentaiko, with its creamy butter sauce and seaweed topping, is an indulgent delight, while the Westholme Wagyu striploin, served with Japanese BBQ sauce, is a smoky triumph. Don’t miss the Tuna tartare, either – wrapped in a crisp monaka cracker and balanced with tangy wasabi and spring onion, it’s a perfect harmony of textures and flavours.
But what really sets Strawfire apart is the sensory experience. Watch the flames dance, feel the heat rise from the open grill, and let the aroma of sizzling dishes captivate your senses. It’s theatre and dining combined – where every meal feels like a performance and every dish tells a story.
The service? Impeccable.
The staff are perfectly attuned to your every need, refilling drinks before you can ask, and clearing plates with a quiet precision that enhances the overall experience. It’s clear that this isn’t just a restaurant – it’s an experience, one that combines the best of Japanese tradition with modern flair.
At Strawfire, every dish is a masterpiece, every bite an exploration of flavour. It’s the kind of place where you’ll want to linger, soak in the atmosphere, and indulge in the kind of dining you won’t soon forget.
