Actually - this would be our second stay for a meal there - both times after we dropped our son off at the airport - on his big OE - catching the "big bird" --> Emirates 380

And I was remiss - to many cocktails and plane watching - I clean forgot to take a picture back then!

THIS time though . . . . . 

We had to have that bread again - naturally!

It arrived in record time. Was still warm to the touch and had plenty of that garlic flavor - and some light sprinkle of fresh herbs. 

The amount was just right for two people - enough to give you the taste - not to much to make you feel bloated before mains arrive - just right. Artistic cut and presented!  Porcelain plate and sadly yet another napkin underneath. Given we already had some on our table (cloth that is) and one came also with the main meal - a bit overkill to have it underneath...Almost a perfect score!

The Hotel certainly had a interesting history!  It is more of a tavern now - and the Locals are super friendly! We stayed and sampled their cooking - no work in the kitchen for me for once!! Naturally we had to start with the Garlic Bread!!

 

It arrived in good time and was hot to the touch and had more then enough Garlic butter inside! The chef - who served - was very apologetic about the 'colour'! I assured her that after years of eating All Black sausages the kids cooked on scout camps - this is an actual improvement!

Paper napkin underneath and the obligatory wooden serving plate!
