Now for those all important chapeaus:

Lunch @ Centonove

For lunch today we thought we might revisit places we hadn't been to for a while - our first stop was Della Nonna which was surprisingly closed. As we weren't that far away, we then tried Canvas, which though open, we found that the restaurant was closed. Our third stop was Centonove which thankfully was open.

We begin with something to share

Dinner @ Nuevo 37

It's our anniversary and falling on a Monday, there's not a lot of choice out there when it comes to dining. To kill a few birds with one stone, we're staying at the new Hilton South Wharf and coupling that with dinner at their main restaurant Nuevo 37.

Truffle Degustation @ Chateau Yering

It's finally here - the day we've been looking forward to for a year. Yes, we are truly truffle tragics.
