Seen Around Town and musings.

Sometime soon I really must write my review of the degustation at Montys the other night.
AS usual it was amazing, EXCEPT for the behaviour of certain industry types at a table near us. The saying "If you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all" springs to mind. Also, dont take out you own insecurities on the host...its really NOT that polite!

But anyhow, things that I have seen/noticed around town lately.

There is now a Jean Pascales in Moonah. It is in the space where the cafe used to be next to Woolworths. They opened last Friday, and have breads/sweet things and a few shelves of jams/chutneys etc. There are also a few tables and they will be serving coffees etc. I hope it lasts! The Jean Pascalces take away in New Town still fails to impress. While we had a lovely girl serve us the other morning (I was running late for rehearsal and dived in to grab Breakfast to go) the selection of patisseries etc is still not as extensive as it used to be. However JP makes an amazing Croquembouche which I tasted on Saturday night at a party.

An organic grocer has appeared at the old Manna Bakery site in New Town. Have yet to go in, but it looks new and fresh.

Jay and Emma from Pigeon Hole are back after a week off. Have yet to get back there, but intend to get my granola fix soon.

Criterion Cafe appears to have had a paint job/rearrangement of furniture.

Villaneo in Criterion Street does the best Chocolate milkshakes this side of the river. Lovely thick fluffy things that your straw stands upright in. Their coffee aint half bad either.
