Me and Lisa finally decided that we should go and see The House Bunny last Friday night. We even decided to make an evening out of it by going to The Boulevard for drinks after work and then grabbing some food before the movie. We chose The Boulevard because they have some good coupons on VoucherMate, and they also have a 2-4-1 happy hour on Fridays. I was happy because they have Speights Summit (one of my new favourite beers) on tap. Jane was happy because they had a platter of free bar snacks. Right after I bought 2 pints of beer (no, I am not an alcoholic) at 5:40 pm, Stacey (the woman) announced that we were expected at Winnie Bagoes at about 6:00 pm. I wasn’t the only one affected by the short timeframe; Lisa had a couple of RTDs in front of her. We were stoked though because Stacey (the man) had a friend who worked at Winnies and he had saved us a booth even though they don’t usually do reservations.
Angel ordered the gourmet flat bread which is topped with sundried tomatoes, feta, nuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sweet chilli sauce, olives and herbs. I had a piece of it and it was amazing, minus the olives (because olives are nasty). It was even better than the pizzas that me, Lisa and Stacey (the woman) shared. We got a chicken, cranberry and brie pizza and a grand Chicago pizza. They were very yummy. Stacey (the man) ordered the Cajun chicken pasta and Jane ordered the Spaghetti Marinara and they both seemed very happy with their choices. I had a Mac’s Springtide beer with my meal because pizza is made to go with beer. It was good and I couldn’t even tell that it was a low-carb beer.
The biggest surprise of the night though was that it happened to be Stacey’s (the man) 30th birthday. The sneaky bugger had tried to keep it a secret but Stacey (the woman) let it slip and then the waiter friend bought over a slice of moist rich chocolate mud cake and we sung happy birthday.
I have never had a bad food experience (although I have waited ages to be seated before) at Winnie Bagoes so if you are looking for some good pizza and a lively atmosphere it is a good place to go. They also have a pretty cool bar area attached to the restaurant and an outside seating area for the summer months. The address is 194 Gloucester Street.
The movie was bloody funny too. I love the way that Shelley remembers names. Classic! Check out the trailer…
