Chef Sofra

Best Known For

Char-grilled lamb cutlets, rice, eggplant begendi and char-grilled vegetables.

Provincial Turkish cuisine is on the menu at Chef Sofra on Mt Alexander Road in Essendon. This Melbourne dining destination exudes a warm and inviting vibe of exposed brick walls adorned with artwork, polished concrete floors and trailing greenery, to set the scene for inspired dining. From hot and cold mezze to mains, there is something to tempt all taste buds; perhaps set the scene with a starter of char-grilled octopus, lemon, parsley and traditional halva, or pan-fried butter scallops and lemon. Marinated char-grilled lamb fillet skewers entice for a memorable main, with rice and char-grilled vegetables; or share a mixed grill platter of lamb and chicken skewers, lamb cutlets, kofte, rice and vegetables. Finish with a dessert of chocolate slice and ice cream.
