Wining and Dining Queenslanders


Two of our dear Queensland neighbours headed south to attend the tennis last weekend before heading out to New Zealand to visit relatives. With June celebrating a birthday on Sunday and S's one later in the week it was great excuse to host a lunch at Donovans in St Kilda.

As usual the service and food were exceptional. After fabulous food and champagne we decided to skip dessert and just have coffee/tea. I then secretly asked the waitress to arrange a treat for the Birthday Girl and it was wonderful to see the surprise on June's face when the staff came out singing and bearing a platter of assorted treats.


At the end of the meal I had the good fortune to chat with Kevin Donovan himself. If you have time check out the website link. The restaurant is located on Jacka Boulavard in St Kilda and decorated in an eclectic homely style the defies the exemplary standard of food and service.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Fairlie but you have let the cat out of the bag. I have been behind in my blogging and post dated some entries today to give the impression of regular blogging!

Great to see you, Queenie and Impossible Princess for birthday cake today. Thank you for the gorgeous gifts.
