High Tea at Martha's Pantry - 29 January

Now let me be very clear.  I am a 6-foot-3 guy, not a small fella by anybodies well stretched imagination.  So seeing me hunched over a delicate, porcelain tea-cup, sitting in a chair made for someone more... dainty... would probably seem rather comical to the casual passer-by. Yes, go ahead and laugh, as I fumble my way around a tiny ...

Decadent Sunday nibbles at Pollux

ACDC have just steamrolled through town, leaving a trail of unshaven and slightly dazed looking bogans, loose in the city.  It’s almost a bonus that the rain is falling, keeping the streets relatively clear of the black-shirted brigade that had been flooding into the capital over the last few days. But Sunday’s mission remains the same for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Malty Goodness

We here at texture have a tendency to avoid the party strip on Courtenay Place.  Thats because our preferences veer towards quality drinking establishments in terms of product, service, and environment, all of which can often be found lacking in the Courtenay experience. But that’s a general definition and there are always ...

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 ...

Coffee and a slice of pie

 Man I love a good cup of coffee. My obsession goes back to the days when Twin Peaks graced our TV screens.  Special agent Dale Cooper, the lead wacko on a show that specialized in wacko’s, had a passion for a damn fine cup of coffee.  His preferred caffeine fix had to be “black as midnight on a moonless night”, much the same ...
