ELSOL MEAT&WINE: A HIDDEN GEM FOR STEAK LOVERS

Last night me and my friends stopped by Elsol Meat&Wine. If you are a fan of Beefsteak, I’m sure that Elsol will please you. The food and the atmosphere there are really suitable for dating, hanging out with friends or family!

Inside Elsol before it got crowded

When I first entered the restaurant, I was impressed with the cozy atmosphere. The restaurant has an airy space combined with vintage decoration style to help customers feel romantic. I remember we did take a lot of selfie there!

When we were taking selfie and talking, a cute waitress came to approach us. She helped us choosing the suitable Steak and the right Steak doneness (which I really appreciated that cause my friends are new to Steak) There are 4 of us so we ended up ordering a lot of food. We ordered two appetizers which are Mac&Cheese and Paté to try while waiting for the main course. I’m sure that everyone is familiar with Mac&Cheese so I’ll skip praising it, but it was a good dish. 

As for the Paté, it was handmade and served with toast. The combination of it and the crispy bread makes me really happy.

Paté

And it was time for the MAIN DISHES!!! First dish was Cheese Steak (trust me when I was typing this review I was still craving for it) A portion of 200g Topblade, with a thick lay of CHEESE on top. When eating you will feel a lot of flavors: The fatness and juiciness of the steak, the creamy, little bit sour of the cheese. It also includes corn, fries, onions and broccoli. Definitely a MUST HAVE when you come to Elsol.

The Cheese Steak

The next dish was Flank Steak with Chili Perper sauce. As in the menu, the meat has a 3/5 softness and 2/5 fat, so when eating you will feel the toughness and crunchiness of the beef tendons. I love eating spicy so when the Chili sauce combined with the sweetness of the Steak, it became a great dish😋

The Chuck Eye Roll with Black PepperCorn sauce was the last Steak dish that we ordered. Probably due to enjoying two previous dishes with a strong taste, when having Chuck Eye Roll I felt a bit bland. Because the sauce of the dish is made from black pepper, this pepper is fragrant but slightly bland compared to my taste. But in return, the meat of the dish is very soft and sweet so I still give this dish an 8..

We ordered one more Gnocchi with cinnamon sauce. It was rolled into beautiful pretty dumplings. I could taste a soft toughness with a very delicate aromatic of the sauce that brings an impressive and unique dish.

After the dinner at Elsol, we were so full and relaxed. We all promised when we get paid we definitely will come back again!
