Pony

Pony is a funky little restaurant right at the centre of the Rocks. The food is described as a "fusion of traditional Mediterranean and modern Australian cuisine". They have a range of tapas style dishes which is what we decided on that night.

Grilled Italian flatbread with smoky eggplant and white bean dip; Artisanal hand made salami, grissini; Baked eggplant, basil and feta rolls, tomato sugo; Crisp fried prawns, sichuan spice, sweet soy; Wood fired chipolatas 'le saveur de romeo', tomato relish; Salad of wild baby rocket, pear, fennel and parmesan; Chicken skewers, rosemary, lemon and mustard marinade; Seared scallops, green pawpaw, cucumber, cashews, lime and palm sugar; Pumpkin and ricotta tortellini, burnt sage butter.

All the food was exquisite! Highlights included the eggplant dip, garlicky, tangy and chunky; the eggplant rolls with a creamy feta centre; the chipolatas, smoky and meaty; pumpkin tortellini with a sweet and creamy filling.

The staff were attentive and helpful and the restaurant had a bustling atmosphere. An overall wonderful dining experience.
