There’s no doubt in my mind that this restaurant is the best place to eat jamon in Sydney; and Spanish Chef Hugo Brihuega (and his visiting father) agree. A plate of Joselito Iberico de Bellota Grand Reserva ($37) from Sean’s expensive ham humidifier is the moistest aged pig in town. Add a 62 Degree Egg and Chips ($12) for some comforting carbohydrates; or a Russian Salad ($12) if you want potato thinly disguised as a salad to impress a date (this is a sexy, red-lit space after all), and you’ll be pretty happy. A Sangria Blanco ($13) continues your smile; but do explore the wine list, it’s all by the glass on the cheaper side of the two-fold restaurant. The 2007 Granbazan Albarino ($13/$65) is a great, fighting white that stands up well to big flavours. Goat’s Cheese Croquettes ($8) shout chalky, creamy quality. Choose the Paella for Two ($30) because it’s cooked in the serving pan. If you’re strong you may not give into the temptation of Churros ($12) with their extreme chocolate dipping sauce; but I succumbed. Shake any stigma that prevents you from enjoying great (subsidised) food at the Casino –nowhere else is serving a house-made spicy Chorizo this good for sixteen dollars!
