With delicious food and drinks, good friends beside you, and a playful venue, it has everything grown ups need. We had a look at what the watering hole Treehouse Lounge had tooffer.
First we chose a platter of five dishes from the extensive tapas menu. Arancini made from pumpkin based risotto with a curry accent, Panko prawns with a crunchy texture to die for, Spicy tangy barbeque ribs with a highly addictive smoky aroma and taste, Fresh scallops matched with a tropical mango sauce and the surprisingly delicious Stuffed Bell peppers with a match of perfectly grilled red peppers with cream cheese were our choices. With their lively colours, any of these are perfect to snack on while drinking, so don’t hesitate to order tapas first.
Speaking of drinks, this watering hole has an abundance of beer, wine, unusual spirits and cocktails to please the ladies.
For those who want something with a bit more bite, the Crusted herb two-point rack of lamb is my recommendation. The well-cooked lamb maintains its unique flavours without the sometimes overpowering smell of lamb and goes perfectly with beer. Hold the conversation and enjoy it while it’s hot.
Then from the typical share plate pizza menu there is the Seafood pizza covered with tiger prawns. The thin base is layered with prawns and squid giving it a robust flavour. It’s another perfect match with beer.
As you look around, you can see people eating and chatting happily with friends. It also has afunction room that fits 20 people and can be used for birthdays and small gatherings. The mainspace also fits 40 people, or 100 if privately reserved and can be used for large parties and wedding receptions. It’s perfect for the upcoming season of Christmas parties and end of year celebrations.
