A night out at the Pig N Whistle, a great Brisbane restaurant
We actually went out to a restaurant for dinner the other night - I went into town and met Dave after work and we went to this great Brisbane restaurant called Pig n Whistle. Great service, good food. We enjoyed a night away from the kids. I assume it was this one, their Eagle Street, Brisbane restaurant, down on the riverside, rather than their Queen st Mall Restaurant because we didn’t walk far enough to get all the way up to the mall, but I’m not sure.
I had Lemon Zested Chicken Risotto with English Spinach, Fennel and Fresh Parmiggiano and Dave ordered Aged Rib with Cider Red Onions, Whole Roasted Garlic, Grilled Pumpkin & Hay Potatoes. (I’m cheating by cutting and pasting from the website or I would never remember this accurately!) For entree, we split Fresh Bay Bugs & Seafood Ravioli with Cognac Bisque. Very yummy food. The wine was good, too - we had a glass of the 2003 Margaret River Vasse Felix with Entree and a bottle of 1999 Rosemount Orange Vineyard with the mains - just as well we were getting the train home, eh!
Never did get around to asking for the dessert menu… most unlike us. But British Food is like that - filling.
We had a good time, and were even home in time to put the kids to bed.
Oh, alright - I admit it! I think anything where I don’t have to wash up the dishes is good!

We could probably have been a little more exciting and gone and seen a movie as well, or something, but we can’t have everything. Still haven’t managed to see Star Wars 3 yet. All things with time - hopefully it will still be in Gold Class when we get to it!
