Pelican
16 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda
Okay, okay it’s an oldie but a goodie!!
How else can you truly enjoy the vibrancy of Fitzroy St, St Kilda, but by sitting near the sun, and enjoying fine fresh meze at decent prices?
Enter Pelican stage right!
I hadn’t been there for about 12 months and one sunny day in September I was passing through St Kilda and did a quick u-turn when I felt my tummy rumble just at exactly the same time as I passed Pelican.
Maybe it was the aroma of home made fresh tomato sauce that reminded me of my Grandma, or was it the saganaki in the air?
Who knows, but Pelican never fails to impress for a no-fuss fun place to hang when the sun’s out.
What we ate?
Oysters natural, BBQ’s butteflied prawns, char-grilled octopus, saganaki, and please don’t forget the patates!
What we drank?
Pierre Sparr Alsace One, the zesty and aromatic drop suggested by our waiter, and boy was it a perfect marriage. A beautiful light white, that masterfully allows its subtlety to persist and radiate. Get it at www.cellardor.com.au , for a saucy, spicy price, only $23.25 a bottle.
Enjoy over a pow-wow with your long-lost best friend!
As always, til next time,
Chardanae on location
