Shaun is Left With Stained Teeth

Belthazar: Not Just A Restaurant. A Wine Bar Too.

Wednesday was Valentine’s day, and so The Girlfriend and I went to Belthazar Wine Bar in the Waterfront, partly because neither of us can cook, but mainly because eating is a big hobby of mine (I do it on most days)

Essentially a steakhouse, the place is also a wine bar (as the name clearly suggests) and so we were greeted by a wine guy called Darius who took us through a variety of semi-sweets, chardonnays and merlots. Naturally I leaned toward the cheapest wine available, which is normally stored in room temperature cardboard box, but Darius was quite a forceful character and after putting me in a unrelenting choke-hold, I eventually conceded and went for one of his recommendations, a dry red which now may have left my teeth permanently stained.

Their steaks as you would expect, was of an exceptionally high quality, and once I found mine, which had been hiding under the lettuce leaves - I wolfed it down like a hungry… well… wolf. The bill was also reasonable, which The Girlfriend settled after I had absent mindedly left my wallet in my other handbag.

So… ja (yeah), that’s my story. I guess this was one of those “had-to-be-there” kind of stories. Gosh, I thought I had more to say actually, this is a little embarrassing. I must be really tired.
