It was listed as: 
Crusty Garlic Sour Dough Baguette
Garlic & cheese butter crust  $ 6.50

It all started with us having to go over to Akaroa and two of us attended a Funeral - while myself stomped around the neighborhood.   In any case, we knew we needed to have a bite to eat and after some forth and back settled on the BullyHayes Cafe - which surprisingly
had a Crusty Garlic Sour Dough Baguette!! I should have known better!!

It arrived in good time and as you can see from the photo - it was just two slices of bread - oops sourdough baguette. This would be the first time that we have ordered garlic bread and it is ONLY for one person.  There was a smattering of greenery on the top and the bread was crusty.  Upon biting in - I missed the garlic flavor and  could not see any little cut pieces on the top (which would indicate a decent home made garlic butter) .  It also was thinly applied - which proved as soon as you checked the bite mark. the "Garlic-butter" must have been a Garlic spray-on oil - as it penetrated the bread by exactly 1.5mm.
My companion was not impressed with the presentation - again - on  a timber platter that clearly had seen better days in a previous life (it had long running cracks - which can and do harbor bugs . . . )   I gave it a generous 7 out of 20 - but won't be in a hurry to re-sample this delight
