Silver Service and Great Views

Although Sunday 5 November was our first wedding anniversay, husband and I decided to dine out on Saturday night. Husband booked us into Cafe La at the Sofitel in the city.

May I just say "Ooh la la!" Husband had booked us a window table and the view was spectactualr. It was just on sunset when we arrived so we could see the city spread out in front of (or rather below) us, and then once it got dark the city lit up. It was amazing!

We decided on a bottle of Moet to get things started, and $145 later we were happy that we had! Delicious!

It was hard to decide what to have from the menu, so we went with the five course set menu. FIrst we had Harvey Bay scallops with caviar, yummy; then two soups in demi-tasse cups, a chicken broth and pumpkin soup; lobster lasagne, about 5cm square; 'the best steak ever'* on a beautiful risotto; and finally apple parfait for dessert, which had "Happy Anniversary" written on it in chocolate sauce, awwww...

It was the most delicious meal ever, with all the flavours so delicate and so different to each other. I have never had to use that much cutlery before, and the silver service was fun to experience (especially from a French waiter).

Oh to be fabulously wealthy so that I could eat there all the time!!!
