The hubby and I decided to check out Parkhurst on a Friday night instead of the usual Sunday Morning. It sounds a bit crazy but I want to nom at every single eatety on 4th avenue and blog the experience I really wanted to try Possums but it was super full. In the end we settled on Vovo Telo - an artisanal bakery that is also has a thriving restaurant.
Service was semi- friendly but I must admit a bit slow . Watching all the waitrons ( how's my non-gender specific-ness) - an eclectic bunch that were friendly, too friendly, morose, high-pitched, annoying. SO we're a bit "iffy" about the place. It was nice but . . . (said with a sort of croaky-doubtfulness). The food was good , yummy but I just wasn't feeling the place. I can't really put my finger on it.

| Good Coffee but it took ages to get to us |
 |
| Great Menu Idea - on brown paper. Sorry for the picture quality It was taken from my dying-a-slow-death Blackberry. I did have a Sony Cybershot in my bag but I thing the Hubby would have been embarressed. |
 |
| We had this as a "starter" Cheese and cold meat platter The olives were very good and the mushroom doing a solo act - 1 solitary 'shroom. Olive bread was nommy |
 |
| I did not like my Mimosa |
 |
| The Pizza's are uuhhh-mazing. May consider going back for this. The hubby said there is too much foliage on the pizza but the rest tasted nommy. |
 |
| All the dessert were polished off so I decided to try their chunks of chocolate and nuts. It may look "rustic" but it tasted good. I was thinking about it the whole weekend but then again I am a chocolate addict - I really do have a problem. Salty mixed nuts and milk and dark chocolate shards - nommier that you may think. |

Yey the Smoo got me a rose  A cool thing happened in the middle of the meal - A Flash Mob of Cyclists in Full Gear with lights and a boom box rode down the street. The next day on Twitter I asked @Parkhurst_JHB what that was about - eventually after many many people got involved in the conversation we discovered it was a group called Critical Mass Check it out : http://www.jhblive.com/kultcha/features/critical_mass_movement/10003 Cobbles Centre, 4th Ave Parkhurst Parkhurst, Johannesburg Gauteng 011 447 5939 http://www.vovotelo.com/main.html |
