What I ate today - the food thread

[Rugby]

Today’s lunch at Euro in AKL. This place keeps giving for us. We started with the Te Maluku Bay oysters, half natural, half tempura, followed by the sashimi and the squid. For mains we had the spaghetti and the risotto. All dishes were superb. We washed it all down with Nautilus Vintage Rose 2014 - a great sparkling.

I haven’t been over for my oysters at Euro this year!

That’s a great looking menu and a very reasonable price. If you have time, give Giraffe a go as well. Lots of dishes from the old Euro menu, but some great new ones as well.

We mostly do Jervois Steak House for dinner or a great Spanish place near Vulcan Lane. Name is ..... on the tip of my tongue

Status run on EK F?

Yes. Just say the word. I am so close to P1. Did an EK F Status Run recently. Total waste of flying in F. The FAs had to drag us back from the bar to eat our meal before it went cold. Lol

We're away in June, just waiting to see what happening with our house before we lock in any more plans.

Depending on deadlines, I am planning my once a year pilgrimage to my old school (Kings College Auckland) to watch a home game (1st XV) rugby. It’s a great Day out. I would be happy to have you along if you’re interested. PM me for more info

Yes we like that one as well. The AKL one was as good last time we went and on the water was more interesting and comfortable.

Yes it’s still there - we haven’t been for a few years. We’ve never had a meal there, but used to sit at the bar and sample wines and snack off the bar menu - great fun.
