Lovin' you long time (And thanks for all the fun)

I was in a certain restaurant not long ago for a friends birthday dinner and drinks.  After only 15 minutes of good times, one rather well-manicured looking waiter, who probably spent too much time ironing the creases into his pants, sauntered up to our table.  He then proceeded to give me good reason to never go back, by saying ...

Strange delights at Mon Ami

 Mon Ami is a little... er... strange.  And not strange/wacky like, say, Offbeat Originals - but strange as in different.  Foreign. Before I get branded a redneck or a hater, let me first say that this is a very good thing (Being different that is, not being a redneck or a hater). Mon Ami isn’t trying to establish itself in the ...

Eating Goat at the Bull

The most remarkable feature of Osteria del Toro is the atmosphere.  It’s an incredible place to look at; with a cathedral-like dining room and an entranceway that looks like it came straight out of the crusades.  There's a little French, a touch of Spain, and a shite-load of Morocco in the decor - but with Italian and ...

Loving the Winter Soup

Man does it suck being sick.  It’s like whenever winter rolls around, my immune system goes into a corner and gently rocks itself into a catatonic state. But at least it gives me a good excuse to consume vast amounts of soup.  I spent much of last weekend in my traditional early-winter misery-fest.  But then, after being abused ...

Laxing out with Lasagne

From tagliatelle to bucatini, I find it hard to resist the seductive call of fresh pasta, especially around this time of year. Maybe it has to do with all of those great Hollywood, Italian mobster stereotypes - the godfathers, goodfella’s, and TV’s Soprano’s – who mixed danger and decadence with a good dose of pasta fazule (Whenever the situation ...

Fratelli Restaurant - 8 March, 15 Blair Street

I guess it’s hard when you have certain expectations of a place, due to the highly regarded business that used to occupy its premises.  Boulot did what it did very well, and I had high hopes for the buildings newest restaurant venture, simply called ‘Fratelli’. Fratelli serve Italian food of the truly classic variety, with a ...

Maria Pia's Trattoria - 14 February, 55 Mulgrave Street, Thorndon

Divine.  It’s a word that means “of a godly nature’… or something along those lines.They must be talking about the roman gods, as that was the only word I could conjure up for Maria Pia’s Trattoria on Mulgrave Street in Thorndon. Because, by Jupiter’s beard, this was one exceptionally divine Italian culinary experience.  The place is ...

Homemade-deliciousness at Midnight Espresso

So I returned back to Wellington late last night after an epic long-weekend-getaway and I was exhausted… like really exhausted… far too exhausted to contemplate cooking dinner, so I contemplated popping out to nab some cheeky takeaway instead.Now, residing in close proximity to Cuba Street there is a plethora of ...

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 ...

Ice-Cream: A Summer Food Fantasia

When you feel like your shoes are melting to the pavement and you’re seeing that shimmering effect off in the distance, it’s time for one thing. Ice-cream. Smooth, creamy, melt in your mouth, tastier than that boy or girl you had a crush on in high school, ice-cream.  Don’t get me wrong - gelato’s, frozen yoghurt’s and sorbets are all good, ...
