Fiji fun and Master-chef sightings

Welcome back to the Cafe Pinocchio blog! Refreshed and re-invigorated from a short break at the Radisson in Fiji, we’ve resumed regular trading hours, Tuesday to Sunday.

Fiji afforded many opportunities to sample local culinary delights.  We had the pleasure of meeting Richard Cross, winner of Master Chef Asia, and sampled some of his fare at ‘Cross’, his new restaurant at the resort.   Read about him here: http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=121376

We were so inspired by the local fresh fruit flavours that we’ve created our own Pinocchio Punch! See you soon!

Mini-break

Hello all, Cafe Pinocchio will be closed from Monday 1 February and re-opening on Tuesday 9 February, 2010.  Time for a mini-break! Best wishes, and looking forward to your continued patronage when we return…

Ch…ch…ch…changes

Cafe Pinocchio would like to thank all our customers who have been so supportive throughout the past year, enduring our renovations in November.  The new look cafe is headed up by the La Marzocco in the window, that reduces St Ali’s espresso blend to liquid gold, shot after shot after shot…and complimented by our new summer menu, combining customer favourites with new Hungarian specialty dishes such as Toltott Kaposzta (Hungarian stuffed cabbages in sauercream sauce) and Retes, Hungarian strudel with sweet or savoury fillings, changing daily.

Seasons Greetings!

Wishing you an enjoyable and relaxing holiday season – meanwhile Cafe Pinocchio will be open all throughout December and January (excluding the public holidays) serving great coffee and delicious food, breakfast and lunch, Tuesday to Sunday.
