Restaurants and cafes

A dining adventure at the mercy of mostly faceless, anonymous chefs and often untrained or morose waitrons, is a subjective experience influenced by personal preferences, tastes and mood.

I love to eat (more than I love to cook or sleep) and have thought long and hard about the elements that make up an exceptional dining experience.

These same elements hold true whether you’re having a home cooked meal or one cooked by a professional chef.
1. Menu – variety and value for money
2. Presentation, flavour and quality of the food
3. Service
4. Ambience in the venue
5. Entertaining dining partner, optional :)
