Sunday saw us head down to Kings Cross for the first time since we passed through it on our first ever taxi ride from the airport. It’s an interesting area, with hostels, adult book stores and an awesome food festival. The obvious first port of call for us was restaurateurs Pete and David Evans’ Hugos Bar Pizzeria. Disappointment at the lack of pork belly pizza was washed away by the far from basic Italian meatballs they dished up. Washing down of these gems was ably assisted by some sparkling refreshments from Peterson House.

Zachary’s Gourmet Pizza Bar decided they’d go with what they do best, the Michaelangelo – chicken breast, spanish onion, sun-dried tomato topped with roasted pine nuts and seeded mustard aioli. Pizza is of course best accompanied by some of Melville Hill’s fizzy, along with some Gestalt organic wine.

German Psychology should always be followed by a trip to the Czech republic for some juicy veal sausages and very smooth Grimbrinus pilsner from the Prague Beer Restaurant. Disappointment of the day was the Chambourcin wine (sounds like cheese doesn’t it) from Ridgeview. To make up for this, the pinot gris from Hungerford Hills was easily Amanda’s pick of the day. The organic pilsner from the Outback Brewery was good, though not as good as the Czech. We must say that as a finishing dessert, you could do worse than the chocolate and sour cherries from the Teahna Banana Gelateria.

And what better way to end a lovely day of great food and wine than enjoying another glass of Peterson House with new friends:
