Comments on: Threesixty degrees Restaurant, Queenstown, New Zealand http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/03/25/threesixty-degrees-restaurant-queenstown-new-zealand/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Ah interesting that they used the combination although I have to say that the toffee cherry tomato was just brilliant.

It <i>started off</i> as pannacotta with a nettle syrup but morphed after the series was over into the basil affair, and then that was on menus everywhere. Err–quick correction.

Not the sort of restaurant I would have dinner at as a perpetually knackered parent. I'd probably fall asleep over the starter and alarm the entire restaurant with my snoring! The whole menu looks fantastic, but I really, really love the sound of the fish ravioli. I wonder how best to recreate those... Incidentally, basil pannacotta with cherry tomato confit has become quite popular over here after it was featured on the Great British Menu tv show last year...

Hi 5 Star Foodie-It was indeed. *sigh* if only it were closer! Hi anna-I was impressed as it was very original. I don't know why but I had almost expected to see similar things to what we have here but was glad that we didn't :) Hi Blond Duck-Aww don't be like that! :P Hi grace-Funny that you say that because when we booked we asked whether there was a dress code and they laughed and said "no!" so it's very welcoming and "un-stiff" if there is such a word. Hi lindsey clare-Thanks! Oh fantastic! Let me know what you think of it! :) Hi Su-yin-Hehe yes I get hunger pangs whenever I see these pictures again and it’s all the more upsetting knowing that I don’t have any venison carpaccio to hand!

I love the idea of a bed bar, too. And all that food looks so inventive and delicious. Now I'm hungry. :) Beautiful view! I love the idea of a bed bar, too.

I've never tried venison carpaccio, but the one you had looks so good. I'm just glad I have a bowl of cereal in front of me at the moment, or my stomach would be growling with hunger! :P Great pictures too, and that view is brilliant. I was slightly confused for a second as I've always associated gondolas with water and Venice, hehe. The food looks absolutely yummy, especially the salmon and the pork.
