Last night we dined at the new St Asaph Street Kitchen and Stray Dog Bar. Owned by the man who used to have Le Cafe at the Arts Centre, this is in a warehouse-type building with few operating businesses nearby. Inside is well finished and welcoming, but repairs continue on the footpath outside.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had scotch fillet with mashed potatoes and vegetables, followed by my favourite tiramisu. Accompanying this was a most palatable Apple Tree cider with elderflower. The prices were reasonable with most mains just over $20.
This photo is dark, because we were sitting by the window and it was still light outside. I recognised the outdoor tables and chairs from Le Cafe. This meal out was a welcome break from the stresses of the last couple of weeks.
“St Asaph Kitchen’s open now
providing very tasty chow.”


it is good to see that you both still get out even if the pavements or other things are not as they should be. My friend Val spent last weekend in Christchurch and was quite devastated when in the centre of the city – with no land marks or direction pointers.
See you Sunday
Thanks for the heads up, I lose track of what has moved where and when its opening. Might give it a try in the weekend, nice to have something more convenient to get to.
