Also popular is the rack of lamb, which comes with a blue cheese and walnut crust, grilled peppers, potato garlic and herbs mash, and rosemary jus.
The Lamb Shanks are another very popular dish at Aubergine, being very tender and tasty. The Lamb Shanks are oven roasted in thyme, rosemary and herbs jus, basil pesto,and served with potato garlic mash. The Restaurant policy on Lamb Shanks is that if the meat does not simply fall off the bone then the shanks aren't good enough.
The fish of the day is guaranteed fresh. The fish is pan fried in chardonnay garlic butter and served with roasted new potatoes and sauteed garden vegetables.
