Minstrels (1x5)

: 09, 2008

Owned by Brits Chris & Marie – ‘Minstrels’ was opened 6 months ago on the site of a former sports bar in the swanky seaside suburb of Devonport. A supposed English theme that’s reflected across a confused mix of ‘cafe by day’ serving everything from gluten-free biscuits to tacky flavoured slushy’s – by night, a ‘fine dining restaurant’ serving everything from Sausage Buns to Ostrich Filets, and then a Jazz lounge as well thrown into the mix – the old Minstrels has a ridiculously overblown menu and was trying too hard to be too many things to too many people.
