Due Via Strada Travel
I had high hopes for Carnivore as it was highly recommended by some locals we met. Since our trip to Buenos Aires last year we’ve been craving for great Argentinian style steak. My biggest issue with Carnivore is value which I personally equate as total experience = price+flavor+service. I felt I didn’t get the value for what I paid for. First of all, $16 for 2 measles slices of focaccia and $8 for 1/4 cup of steak sauce. Again the cost is not the issue, it’s the quantity. The salad was good but nothing outstanding. The 750g ribeye steak (it was not clearly stated that it was bone-in) was tender but lacked a meaty flavor and even though it was grilled over firewood it lacked the smokiness that usually is typical of an Argentinian steak. And at $120 it fell flat. I really wanted to like this place since it sour first steak visiting Australia but sadly it left me longing. And we’ve noticed that same overpriced food lacking adequate flavors at several restaurants in Adelaide unlike food we ate at Central Market or even restaurants we ate in Sydney.
