sunday lunch

While in Christchurch last weekend we had been keen to check out the temporary restuarant set up by Richard Till, however this had sold out, so we decided to visit a newish place on the dining scene down here - Petrini. A wine bar, resturant and deli with a bakery and cheese room on site, Petrini has been executed superbly.

We ate the calamari with squid ink sauce pictured above (which has a fancier name that escapes me...) and the ham hock terrine with homemade brioche and an apple salad below. Beautiful - the calamari was among the nicest I have had. We also tried the bread plate to check out their breads, the walnut was divine. Very reasonable prices for the quality of the food, and the casual style of the menu makes it perfect for sharing too.
