Restaurant Reviews | Feature THE CLARENCE HOTEL AND BISTRO By Joan Gestro The new Clarence Hotel and Bistro is now situated where once was the historic Tauranga Post Office, a beautiful building with a gracious frontage, a rotunda on one side serving as a popular bar area in the summer. The Clarence Hotel and Bistro now boasts two chic and funky restaurants, fine accommodation upstairs with 10 individually designed suites. The symbolic representation of the Bee comes from the existing tiles on the roof, manufactured in Marseille, France. Government buildings the world over have commissioned tiles such as these and now their adventure has come a long way to rest above our heads. We dined in the Bistro, we found it interesting seeing chefs preparing fine cuisine. We were lucky to have David, our French waiter, with his extensive knowledge matched our three courses with the right wine. The Bistro serves innovative and classic dishes, if you are looking for a more casual fare, try the Iki Bar, whose staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome; surrounded by music, cocktails, wines, craft beers and Southern Asian Street food to delight your appetite. Our First course: Colin’s choice of Pork Schmaltz with Love Rosie’s Bread was matched with Nautilus Rose 2015, a sparkling wine from Marlborough- Berry fruit and Brioche notes. This sparkling wine cleans your palate for the next course. My choice of Anchovies, matched with Dry Riesling Spatlese “Fromm” 2018 from Marlborough, with fresh acidity to cut the saltiness of the Anchovies, which were tender, delicious, not too salty, a product of Italy. Our Second Course: Colin chose Consommé, his dish matched with Arneis 2015 Hawkes Bay lime and honey aromas with a dry finish to work really well with the strong aromas of the Consommé dish. My choice was Truffle Risotto matched with Harakeke Chardonnay 2015 from Nelson, Nectarine, peach and oak aromas nice texture to work with my delicious creamy risotto. Our Third Course Colin’s choice of Coq au Vin was matched with a Central Otago Tekapoto Estate 2013 Pinot Noir. Nice tannins flavours to work with the poultry dish. A small winery with a fantastic philosophy around the wine. This wine is a multi-awarded world best at London’s IWSC. My choice Goat Ragu, I asked David our wine buff at Clarence restaurant. for a small portion which came smothered in pappardelle with not enough of the delicious Ragu. Still a generous portion and delicious. David matched this dish with Waiheke Island Man O’ War-Dreadnought 2016 Syrah, Intense Cherry and Liquorice flavours and tannins to balance the Caribbean spiced Ragu. We enjoyed the experience with delicious food good staff who made you feel welcome and help in any way to make our evening a great experience. We will certainly be back as they also offer A Five Course Tasting menu with wine match. Can’t wait to enjoy this with a bunch of friends. www.winenzmagazine.co.nz 57
