The Grand

So I live super dooper close to this place and have done so since Dec 08. Everytime I tell ppl where I live they say the same thing… Oh go to The Grand. Its great! And I always keep meaning to but FINALLY AJ AND I WENT! WOO!!!!

So Mondays:

Italian Night: Choice of 2 dishes with beer/wine $20

Wednesday:

Roast Night: Choice of 2 dishes with beer/wine $20

And all the rest of the days its the usual bar food in the bistro bit. Apparently the Dining Room is awesome too.

Anyway…. we went on Monday. I had the Roast Chicken with a panzanella salad (bread, tomatoes, beans, oil. mmmmm). It was sooooo yummy. However, as per usual, I forgot to take the photo. The salad was so yummy and fresh and the chicken had heaps of seasoning. So yum. AJ got the lamb roast with potatoes and fennel. It was really yum too. again… forgot to take a photo. HOWEVER. KK and AlMAX both got a parma which is DID get a photo of…. hahha.. Parma was yum too.

    The Royston

    I found this pub one day last week when I got lost during my run. Its hidden away near bridge rd and the river. anyway. so the specials are:

    Sunday, Monday & Tuesday : Locals NIght (you dont have to be local) 15 different meals for $15!!

    Wednesday: Burgers and parma $13 plus trivia

    Thursday: Steak night $15

    So we went on Sunday. The parma got a great rating, the steak was ok - big bit of fat and the gravy was so so, my roo burger was good, except the chilli jam tasted like fish sauce adn was a bit dry.

    The toilets were fukn feral though. Gross. On a Sunday?

    But otherwise we really had a great time. Really really like the feel of the joint!!!!

NO THANX. oh and it was boiling hot in there. wtf? so my advice to you is skip this place for pizza and head to Lucky Coq just down the road.

    Wednesday: Pizza + glass of Stella $12

    Mountain View: This is AJ’s grilled chicken salad with sour cream and some vegies. it looked pretty yum and came in a crazy boat shaped bowl. he said it was yum but maybe a bit too much sur cream. also, he wanted me to tell you all that he hates the parma here. the cheese wasn’t crispy enough or something! but still.. this meal was $10. awesome.
