anniversary dinner...

Last night V and I went out to Caveau restaurant to celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary - yay! Without a doubt this is my favourite, favourite restaurant to go to for a special occasion dinner and last night was absolutely fantastic.

We did the degustation - 7 courses of deliciousness with matched wines. And caught a cab in and back again - 7 courses of wines = no drivey home!



We started out with a Kir Royale - for anniversaries, pink bubbles are kind of important, I think. Sadly my iPhone hasn't captured these photos too well, as it is quite dimly lit inside, but the glasses are all monogrammed with the restaurant name - so classy, love it.


Herb crusted loin and tartare of Kingfish, spanner crab and chilled linguini



Pan fried Palmers Island mulloway with prawn tortellini, crushed peas and prawn butter



Cheese plate with fruit and homemade walnut bread. Unfortunately not all the courses were photographed - as the night wore on and we had more and more to drink, the camera skills began to decline accordingly, and the meals were being eaten too quickly for photos anyway!



Vanilla creme brulee with strawberry and macadamia financier, with strawberry sorbet. This was served with THE most delicious French desert wine - V finished his first and was trying to bargain for the rest of my glass. I wasn't budging - and then the waitress came over and refilled both our glasses. Score!

Hope you all had a fantastic Saturday night, and are enjoying the weekend!
