Salt Pepper Nutmeg: Roseville

When (as parents paying a babysitter so spending $50 before we even leave the house!) we were on the look out for an affordable but enjoyable restaurant for a meal out. Well we lucked in with Roseville's newest eatery.

There has been a restaurant on this site in Roseville (i.e. Jezebels, Reel Cafe) for as long as I can remember and the newest tenant is winning over customers by the look of a busy Saturday night as we enter.

We have decided to partake of the movie-meal deal for our 'date night' and at $40 p/p it's an absolute bargain. (Roseville Cinema, the partner in this meal deal offer, is situated next door and is a wonderful cinema - and the subject of another review).

It's a great service too - make your dinner reservation, tell the waitstaff your chosen movie and collect your movie tickets from the restaurant (pre-purchased and added to your bill). We collected our tickets first, enjoyed the movie and then returned for dinner. The meal deal entitles you to 2 courses from a 3 course menu so we shared and entree and a dessert (Chocolate Suicide - which is truly death by chocolate) and enjoyed our own main course.

The menu gave a good selection (2-3 choices per course) and we enjoyed our own BYO wine (making it even more affordable).

So when you're looking for a handy, affordable local that also offers a good menu in an interesting venue (the walls are lined with 2nd hand books for sale, which I love!) and the option of jazz on a Sunday, then this one's for you.

Enjoy
