Anybody know the backstory to "End Dive Restaurant", which looks about to open on the corner of Government and Herald?

I wondered the same thing today. Looks ready to go. Being opened by the former head chef of Be Love Mat Clarke.

Anyone tried Wind Cries Mary in Bastion square? A friend ate there and said it was great. What was there before?

I haven't yet tried Wind Cries Mary, but it took over the space from one of my favourite fine dining establishments, Camille's.

All dishes are meant to be shared eh? Thats different. Kind of like a tapas place with larger portions.

This makes the $26 chicken seem like a bargain!

Lots of grumbling right now over the delivery company Tutti’s failure to pay restaurants and even drivers. Its being going on for months, and for some businesses it’s thousands of dollars. Something is brewing!

They have the “local” angle. They’ve been around a while.

So are there delivery companies on SSI? Do you contract with them?

This new gelato shop (Medzo Gelato Bar) has opened in the Public Market; it occupies the east-end space that was once a French bakery.

Not that I know of, and no. Someone tried to start one, it didn’t last. The cabs will do it, but they are insanely expensive.

I miss the original food delivery co here in Victoria. They couldn't make a go of it when Skip etc came to town. We used them alot when building our own business when there was not enough hours left in the day to make food. They also were kind of neighbhours.

I'm guessing there are occasional residents of SSI that can afford it.
