Three Cows<br />
THREE COWS<br />
Fresh food, expert staff and a warm atmosphere – Three<br />
Cows has won over plenty of diners in Kaiapoi with its<br />
simple recipe for success, and its café, restaurant and bar<br />
on Victoria Street is proving just as popular. The large<br />
outdoor dining area makes it a perfect spot for a morning<br />
coffee or business lunch, and the space transforms in the<br />
evening to welcome diners for a meal or a cocktail. The<br />
menu features plenty of elegantly prepared favourites, as<br />
well as options for the more adventurous. The experienced<br />
team can also cater for Christmas functions and events.<br />

POLISH VODKA<br />
We learnt a thing or two recently at the<br />
launch of Belevedere’s Single Estate Rye<br />
Vodkas – Smogory Forest and Lake Bartezek.<br />
Smirnoff, in its 1950s campaign, prided<br />
itself on being a flavourless drink you could<br />
enjoy without a telltale smell lingering on<br />
your breath. Today, taste is paramount. Enter<br />
rye vodka. Consider the difference between<br />
wheat and rye bread and you can see why<br />
the excitement is building. Further nuances<br />
are added depending on where that grain is<br />
grown.<br />
But the answer to what you really want to<br />
know? Of the two, it’s Smogory Forest you<br />
want for your next martini – its savoury notes<br />
would satisfy 007.<br />

This restaurant strives to create a joyous atmosphere and<br />
