New Adelaide Qantas Club & Business Lounge

[SYD]

Italian makes a lot of sense for Adelaide. The problem I see is that I have little faith it will be implemented well. Put up a paltry effort and every Italian mama in Adelaide will be assaulting the lounge staff with wooden spoons, and it will be deserved.

Lasagne sounds great until you realise everyone will take the edge pieces first (or pass up the tray until a new one comes out with edge pieces), plus I have little faith in people to actually dish up a block of lasagne (let alone a scoop) neatly. It's gonna look like a dog's breakfast (or what it ate, but thrown up) very quickly. Taking a step back, if the lounge doesn't bother to make a good lasagne al forno in house and just get a mass catered one... I'm sure we've had enough of those, and they are horrid (the sugo is tasteless, the cheese is cheap and there's hardly any meat).

The presumption for say lasagne is it’s behind the counter and you get a portion served by staff (same as MEL).

Some quality antipasti, served with charred Italian bread, would be a winner, but it has to be good quality stuff, i.e. not just Don salami which you get at the supermarket.

But conceptionaly a sound idea.

Tuna or fish might be offered as plates of the day. I wouldn't go down the sushi path as that's likely to be mass made and horrible.

Not if it’s made as they go….

They occasionally serve lasagna from the Brisbane 'cantina' bar, has been imo one of the better meals.

Yeah, but I always get disappointed that the Cantina doesn't have the band.
