It has been a while and so when the opportunity came - we treated ourselves to a meal out - while at the same time acting as taxi for a elderly gent.
it is time to explore some of the more new-ish places in town - many of the cafe's and other eating places had shut down due to the earthquakes in 2010 and now - 4 years later new ones (cafés that is ) are springing up - like mushrooms.
So it is time to go out and have a good time. We were recommended this place - so off we went.
The garlic bread duly arrived (and in good time ) and was nicely arranged on a porcelain platter (bonus points there). It was 'just' warm enough. Very crunchy on the outside and soft just in the very centre. It might have stood on the counter under the lamp just a bit to long?? perhaps?!
There was certainly a good decent garlic flavour and the sprinkling of fresh herbs helped along. The bread itself was a French baguette originally. In terms of quantity it was just right for the two of us - neither felt full or wanting another slice!
Overall we rated this as a better garlic bread of recent times.
The only downside of the evening was to see on the menu a bottle of mineral water - charged at $11 for 1litre advertised and we sure got charged for it $11.
The bottle however turned out to be only a half litre! To their credit once we asked the question they gave as a credit for the "other" 500ml.
