Spot prawn season is short so definitely check out Spot prawn season is short so definitely check out @locandadellorso’s 3 course spot prawn feature menu. This menu is available for $65 per person and includes:

🦐 Spot Prawn Crudo - Aji amarillo, fresh lime, cilantro,
and cancha corn
🍝 Spot Prawn Spaghetti - Aglio e olio and pesto rosso
☕️ Pistachio Tiramisu

Everything was very well executed and I love the different preparations for the prawns. The crudo was bright and refreshing and the spaghetti had a very tangy tomato sauce that pairs well with the sweetness of the prawns. The pistachio tiramisu was not too sweet and probably one of the best I’ve had in the city. 

The vibes are great, the food is excellent and the service was 💯. Definitely recommend you check this spot out for your next night out.

Their spot prawn toast is a seasonal special and it features chopped spot prawn tartar layered over toasted white bread with a bisque crafted from roasted spot prawn shells. It is absolutely divine and a must order.

Other great dishes to try include:

🥭 MANGO VOGURT BOWL - Homemade granola, Greek yogurt, mango purée, seasonal fruit, chia seeds

Everything here is made with so much love and intention and you can really taste the difference. This little gem in Lower Lonsdale is a great little spot for brunch every single day!
