Share the South African kitchen experience at Ostrich and The Egg on Inkerman Street in St Kilda. Street eats and iconic koeksister doughnuts are on the menu at this eatery and bar, where an easy-going, casual dining ambience filled with good vibes and nutty humour, make for a lively buzz of conversation and satiated appetites. Ostrich (Mum) and The Egg (Gary) make almost everything from scratch – expect humble, hearty food with an abundance of spice – as seen in snacks like a boerewors scroll with South African seasoned beef rump, baked in puff pastry. Grab a chicken sosatie skewer with spiced apricot glaze, capsicum and rice; while those with more ravenous tastes opt for eight-hour slow-cooked lamb shoulder, in African spice with raisins, a baked omelette crust, served with yellow rice.
