Many restaurants in the city serve versions of cheese garlic bread, but few are worthy of the kind of praise we find ourselves singing for The Boston Butt‘s Bloom Bread. A carb and cheese-loaded starter, the dish stands out on a menu brimming with barbecued meats. Before it nests in the oven, the house-baked mollete (soft Spanish dinner rolls, which the restaurant serves as large buns) is sliced and diced, slathered with garlic butter and lavished with a delicious blend of Gouda and yellow cheddar. As it bakes, the cheese seeps into and soaks the sponge-soft loaf like molten gold. A garnish of fresh, diced spring onions is the final flourish on this indulgent appetiser well suited to the restaurant’s boozy cocktails. Rs272 (excluding taxes).
