Matterhorn

Loving the new tasting menu, each plate a new taste sensation. It’s dim light interior is a great place for a date.

Matterhorn is famous for its impeccable, mouthwatering food and cocktails to make your taste buds tingle. Whether you prefer the Cuba Street or Courtney Place scene, this hidden away restaurant-turn-bar is a great place to stop for a drink of the fancy sort.

Nestled down an alleyway just down from Cuba Streets iconic bucket fountain you will find this hidden gem. Sit by candlelight for dinner in the restaurant, or head out the back and get amongst the atmosphere in the garden bar whilst the friendly bar staff serve you (smokers can feel at home here also - warm heaters!). So far I've only been for drinks - in which the service was fantastic. The staff knew their wines, and can whip up nearly any cocktail you can think of. The crowd is usually very diverse, ranging from uni students to suits converging for an unpretentious, relaxed high quality experience.

Righto - 2nd place to visit is Matterhorn - Sharing plates in an intimate setting. Start with the kingfish tacos, and their amazing pate, then on to the wagu beef and chicken or a whole fish and make sure you get one the awesome staff to recommend the wine, Their list is impressive!!

A covered outdoor courtyard area to the side of Matterhorn with an outdoor fireplace, giant tables and a menu that is made to be shared - this bar is one of my favourites to chill out with a drink, have some dinner and finish it off with a relaxing smoke!
