@canefan Good atmosphere, awful food.
A couple of weeks ago I went to the O'Connell Street Bistro. Experience could not have been more different.
Try Ostro. Good food and booze. Nice views. Very professional wait staff too.
We spend one night a month up there and always go there for Saturday lunch before checking in to hotel.
My favorite is fish market for Sunday lunch. A stack of good eateries with a good two piece band and fresh beer.
My sneak in and sneak out place is Gochu. Best hot wings in the country. Also good booze.
Depot is a very nice restaurant if you've never been. Great raw bar and their bone marrow was great last time I went
I didn’t love the duck tongues but everything else was awesome.

Ducks tongue is the only food that has caused me to straight out vomit.

Curious. Was it taste? Texture? Connotations? Visuals? Smell? I’ve never had the opportunity to try ducks tongue and would likely pass on it but puking is a strong reaction. So yeah. Curious.

All of the above. When I first moved to Asia, I wasn't at all brave with foods (I barely ate Sushi). But pretty quickly I developed a willingness to try everything. Ducks Tongue pretty much so set me back in years.
The texture is horrible - it's kind of like when you have a bit of gristle in your meat, but softer so that you can actually eat it. Add quite an intense duck flavour to it and thats as best as I can describe it.

Yes. I think I will pass if given the opportunity. Thanks for the heads up.

Perfectly described. Hatiest!!!

Went to the newly reopened Harbourside tonight. Ate fish, very mediocre and not cheap. Avoid. Crappy restaurant, great location.
I'm with @canefan, by the way, that's consistent with the last time I went there. Amazing location, very average food.

@Hooroo looks really interesting. What did you have? Any recommendations?
Had the tuna tartare. That was a highlight as the guy that created the menu but doesn’t own the restaurant has that as his signature dish. Won an a award with it a few years ago.
Also loved the lamb ribs. The dipping sauce was wicked.
I had the Peking duck and pancakes too. That was good but standard.
The cocktails were out of this world. Beer great too

Bah, please - like you're actually going to venture past Peaches when you drag yourself away from your grill...
ah, sometimes I get pulled away from excellence.
Heading to Cassia the week after next. That is some fine dining curry fusion excellence - probably our favourite 'proper' restaurant.

@nzzp I've always been a fan of the Grove. Haven't been this year but the food and service was always top notch
nice. I thought it was nice, but not outstanding when I went - but then I was drinking too much wine iwth the group I was with.
Odettes is my go to for interesting food - they make really good, high value tucker I reckon

I thought I had posted this in the BBQ thgread but I haven't - must've been traumatised.
For the Pumas 1 game I got 60 day aged ribs from Well Hung in Milford. https://wellhung.nz/gourmet-butcher/dry-aged-beef/aged-beef/
$180 for a four bone rib but it was possibly the best beef I've ever eaten. Long and slow with just (for me) the right amount of smoke, resulting in a juicy, succulent roast (took it out at 53) with a good bark.
Few cleansing ales while cooking - bottle of malbec and then the AB's fucking ruined the evening
As @hooroo always asks me for photo's I took a couple but clearly wasn't holding the phone too steady
Actually you'll have to take my word for it as photos wont load

Didn't happen then and you actually just had an overcooked piece of rump....
I tried to load a photo yesterday and it wouldn't load. Too large which is weird as it was just a standard iPhone photo.

Bugger I thought you'd find my story more credible
Mine said too large as well so I re-sized it and now it says there is a parsing issue.
It was actually probably the most successful BBQ I've done - temperature control was perfect - the only issue I had was the bones caught at one stage but that just helped with the smoking.... and was fine once i covered them in foil

Probably need to upload a screenshot so the file size is smaller
