A worn out by a day of driving in New Zealand we decide to take a local recommendation and keep it simple with Pizza at The Cow.

Merivale seems to be really stepping up their game this winter, firstly with their Winter Feasts menus and now Bistro CBD celebrations. Having never had the chance to eat at Bistro CBD before I was curious to see what their food would be like.
