Fantastic Mangalica Pork Chop @ Wolf

Went to Wolf for Restaurant Week 2014 and had the Mangalica Pork Chop. Perfection! This is definitely the show-stealer and nothing else, not the foie gras starter nor the pear tarte dessert could outshine this main course. (What is "Mangalica Pork"? Read all about it here.)

The pork chop was a thick cut of fatty meat (bone-in) that was not at all gamey. The outside seared lightly so it was crisp; the inside medium done so it was pink, giving the succulent meat fantastic bite and texture. Each morsel was juicy and tender - sheer carnivorous joy! Go for the Apple Mustard sauce which was served on the side, and better than the Juniper Berry sauce, in my humble opinion. Love the additional wholemeal mustard topping which cut through the fat well.

Pink meat, thick with fat

If I had one complaint, it would be the pear tarte. Though taste-wise it was perfectly sweet, I had expected a flaky tarte, but it came with each layer indistinguishably stuck together, which made me wonder how long ago that tarte was made.

Tasteful interior

Wolf is tastefully decorated, with stone relief flying pigs and wolf faces as the centerpiece. Music is modulated according to crowd - it gets softer when the crowd thins out. Service was top notch, with my water topped up regularly, and my plates cleared quickly. After I had the door held open for me and a wish that I had a great night, I really did have one!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, and would highly recommend other meat-lovers to come here and satisfy their carnivorous cravings.
