Fidel's brunch: Best Cure for the Weekday Blues

It’s the weekend - and if you happen to have had a week to forget, and/or a night out you have trouble remembering, it’s probably time for a good, hearty brunch. Because there’s practically nothing better than chilling in comfy surrounds with a large plate of yummy food in front of you. The best place to make a little mid-morning nest for ...

Musing over Muesli

I appreciate a good serving of well crafted muesli, one that has a nice blend of complementary nuts, seeds, dried fruits and honey-tones.  My appreciation has soared recently after a failed attempt to toast my own muesli… though it was most definitely the interweb that lead me astray… how was I to know that two cups of vegetable oil would ...

Plum Café has completely nailed it…

We’re pretty lucky in Wellington… there are plenty of establishments that offer a fine espresso, tasty counter treats and a consistently delicious menu… so what separates the best from the rest?! Well I think its three simple things: location, atmosphere and choice and Plum Café has nailed it…Situated right, smack, bam in the middle of Cuba Street ...

Chow down at Chow

Monday nights are always a bit of a mish.  Start of the working/studying week and still tired/hung-over from the weekend.  Everything just seems that little bit too hard. Pleasure and respite can only be found in a tasty dinner (Which is cooked by somebody else).  Free yourself from the slavery of the kitchen and get your ass down ...

Pre-Gig Brunch at Ernesto

My friend Tim is down from Auckland to play a little afternoon gig at Spacething in Newtown. We wander down Cuba Street to get brunch. I've got Ernesto on my mind because last time I was there I read something about homemade hash browns on the menu, and this is what I feel like this morning.  We each order the hashbrowns with poached eggs ...

Havana Cafe - 24 November, Francis Place/Tory Street

So I’ve finally gotten around to taking a look at Havana’s new café and office space on upper Tory Street/Francis Place.  It’s been a bit of a well kept secret, but now the word is out and Havana-heads are beginning to make the pilgrimage to their new shrine. Because pilgrimage it is.  Havana café is way up Tory, past even the big ...

One super-fine cafe

This past year has seen many new bucks rise amongst the herd that is Wellington’s café and bar culture.  From Tupelo’s phoenix-like rebirth as the Watusi (Great name), to the new café on upper Tory Street keeping all Havana coffee addicts in the gear – It’s kinda hard just picking a favorite amongst them all. But there is a section in my ...

Whats your Wildest Wellington Food Experience?

Just like the SAS, with food it truly is he who dares wins.  My favorite TV chef and food enthusiast is that cunning rogue, Anthony Bourdain.  Tony is an advocate for eating that which would normally be outside most westerners comfort zone.  From Cobra hearts to coffee custard infused with tobacco - this top chef knows that the ...

Eating Organic

It’s strange to think that not that long ago, most people didn’t really know what organic foods were.  It was just a given that fruits and vegetables would come absolutely saturated in chemical pesticides, or were grown with the use of artificial fertilizers and all manner of unknown waste products.  Not to mention the ...

A fabulous weekend of wining and dining

 After three years of all-nighters spent on penning Foucault analysis's and the merits of MMP,  Wednesday night inebriation sessions and trudging up The Terrace in rain, hail and snow, graduation finally came. It's a big deal for most when you get that piece of paper that sums up those years of being broke, drunk and scholarly, so ...
