| A take home pizza menu featuring the cutest pig bums! |
After checking out some exhibition launches last night, my arty posse decided to stop in at Chester White for a beverage and snack. I had been meaning to check this place out since it had changed from the restaurant Canvas to Chester White. It is also very close to work too.
After reading a review of the restaurant online, I had discovered that the name Chester White is a reference to a pig breed! Hence the very cute piggy bottoms on their promotional material.
I'm not the kind of person who religiously photographs everything they have eaten as I'm more about enjoying my experience than documenting it. (This is also another reason why I'm so slack at vacation photos!) In saying that, I do have some rules of trying out a new restaurant/bar.
Rule number 1: order a martini, describe how I want it and drink.
You all know how fussy I am about my martinis and I can say that the crew at Chester White didn't bat an eyelid when I described in full how I wanted my martini. It came back well balanced and delicious. It was a little bit more than I usually would pay (at $20 it's at the higher end for a martini) but I had no complaints at how good it was.
Rule number 2: if a place makes pizza, order a plain old margherita.
This is one of my husbands rules too! I think that you can judge how well a pizza is made by going back to the basics and really tasting the quality of ingredients and the process. Our pizza was crispy, simple and pretty darn delicious. I was very excited to see that they also do pizzas take away! Yippee!
We did also order a potato and rosemary pizza which was nice but didn't quite hit the spot like the margherita and some salmon cakes, which were ok but I'd probably not order them again.
All in all, great service at Chester White, a pretty darn good cocktail list and some yummy food! Looking forward to checking out their weekday $19 express lunches and their Wednesday evening BYO a bottle from your cellar! Certainly one way of ensuring you get a wine you love!
Thanks Chester White folk!
Miis Mardi I had their lunch special this week - limited main menu of some pizzas, pasta, steak and a drink for $19. I had the jamon pizza which was VERY yum. And my short black was a good one too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback! The menu did look limited but I have to say that the pizza we had was delicious so I will definitely give it a go!
