Art Bites

Images Stephen Goodenough courtesy The George Pescatore’s executive chef Andrew Brown and his team appear to me to be having far too much fun – creating edible art! Could there BE a better job? It’s all about creating food that engages all the senses and they do that with a to-die-for Evolution menu – 10 degustation courses that ripple across your taste buds and leave you begging for more. And yes, even after six courses it IS still possible to still want more…. they are small courses after all – little taste teasers – and, as the cliché says, you only live once! That said, you can pick and choose from the a la carte menu instead; but why ruin a perfectly good night by having to make choices? www.thegeorge.com

Dining in Style

The multi-award-winning Pescatore at The George Christchurch has a glamorous new face. Christchurch architect, Richard Dalman of Dalman Architecture has brushed the upstairs space with a quiet elegance. He’s created a restrained opulence in a new restaurant ante-room that’s the perfect counterpoint to the dark minimalism of the restaurant itself.

The Pescatore April 2009 Ajr The Pescatore April 2009 Ajr It’s all white-on-white – a delicious marrying of diaphanous fabrics, crystal chandeliers, chrome poles, padded doors and almost-lickable marble. I love it. Not everyone is a fan of white-on-white-on-white but I am. My ideal house – in my ideal world, where I live with my ideal fat bank balance – would be all-white…. top-to-toe. And maybe I'd only eat all-white food. www.thegeorge.com
