Christmas 2011

It has become our tradition to head to the Winery every Christmas Eve. The atmosphere certainly did not change, with its lively friendly service and beautiful lush decor. You can check out our 2010 visit, here.




Rose Wine Sangria; Strawberry & lemon wedges, Creme de Fraise (strawberry), Bianco Italian Vermouth & lemonade

The sangria was bittersweet and delicious. It was highly appropriate for matching with the rose filled decor and garden party atmosphere.

Sangria is a wise choice when dining at the Winery, because it complements most meals and adds to the mood of the place.


Hand cut chips

I realised they changed the menu because last years fries were actually THIN. Being the queen of chips, i normally wolf down any chips but i do have a preference for thin crispy fries..which i missed.


Prawn & Avocado boats w/ Thousand Island Dressing

The mooshy texture of the avocado and squishy texture of the prawns, were strangely, quite harmonious. I thought the lettuce was TOO bitter and ruined it for me but everything else was tasty.

I was slightly disappointed in the service, because it took a good 15-20 mins after Alvina's dish for mine to come out, so I was completely ravenous and dug straight in, forgetting to take a photo! I ordered the spaghetti bolognese, which was pleasant but not outstanding. Again, the Winery is more appropriate for the atmosphere and drinks rather than actual meals.



Just beautiful, definitely suits any festive occasion and it was inspired by the garden from “Fantastic mr fox”.


Double choc brownie w/ fairy floss and ice cream

A nice finish to the meal, i enjoyed the soft fairy floss over the rich chocolate brownie.

We ordered this last year, and having had a good impression, decided to get it again. It was a good choice the second time also.


From a year back the area of Kings Cross did not change one bit and we shall return next christmas.

 For our christmas special, we headed to Kings Cross to bask in all its seedy glory

 Heard that this place was based off the garden of Fantastic Mr Fox it was sure nice.

 I’m not crying! I’m just in despair cause the food is still not out.

But then, TA DA!
Alaskan crab $25, tossed with angel hair pasta, rocket, garlic & chilli
 Overall, a slight disappointment. The dish was quite oily, and the pasta was very buttery. As a whole, it was bland, and I felt like I was just eating pasta the whole time, because it took over all the other flavours on the plate. I feel like the crab, rocket, etc, were hardly present.
Shoestring fries $8
 This was quite nice, and the serving size was just right, if not more than enough.

Love french fries so was crunchy and delicious =D

Sweet potato gnocchi $24, with mushrooms, Johnny love bites & marjoram nut butter
 I was looking forward to the chewy but soft gnocchi taste however this place it was a tad undercooked so it was too mushy for my liking =(. The sweet potato i felt clashed with the cheese but it was not too bad.
Toasted ciabatta $4
 I loved this! But then again my taste is pretty simple and I just like bread & butter in general. But this was extra special because the butter was very tasty.

What Anna said =D

Double chocolate brownie $13, with fairy floss & ice cream
 Interesting combination. It works, but then the only thing you can taste is the brownie and ice cream, which in general would taste nice just about any where you go. The fairy floss is very light, so the taste is barely there. Still, quite nice, and recommended.

I felt without the icecream it would of been too sweet, there was not enough of it but it was a nice extra touch the fairy floss as it was light but anymore and it would of been TOO sugary. There wasn’t any element to counteract the over powering sweetness but it was still tasty so that is all !
