Polly wants a five spiced duck with passion fruit jus!…read moreHeydon Young had a brilliant french restaurant in Crowie for many years called La Goulue. Typically its hard to find an English translation. Academics say there are two very similar English meanings. The first is 'the glutton' and the second is 'Andrew O' Two Stews and a Cockatoo is a new place in Gordon where Heydon has finally returned to the pans. It is absolutely fantastic. Quirky, fun, but mainly just great great food. We went with another couple and the concept just fits perfectly. All shared plates and all well explained by friendly intelligent staff. Wine can be ordered by 'flight' meaning that when you have decided on say, a pinot noir, you get three generous tasting glasses from three different wineries, for example a. somewhere I have now forgotten but was called 'Mud', b. Victoria and c. Central Otago. There's a coaster underneath the glasses explaining which wine is which. So you don't get confused the glasses are even marked a b and c. I ordered a flight of Pinot Noir because it would have been criminal not to revisit Heydon Young's duck and God only made Pinot Noir after a big night on the duck, or was it the other way around? Other stuff included fried goat's cheese, beetroot jam & char grilled ciabatta that just dropped jaws , smoked fresh salmon, pulled pork, a duck pork and pistachio terrine with pickled cherries, and roasted beetroot, orange, blue cheese & caramelised walnut salad with pomegranate dressing. My friend Maria would say 'Good Lord' and so would I. The two owners are somehow called Stew, even though one is a woman. They buzz around making sure the place hums. It is super value when you remember that this is high end food and produce cooked by a highly skilled classic chef. All up we got out of there for less than our target of $70 which is what we would have paid if we had gone to a parents function at Kirribilli RSL like we were supposed to. Instead of mankety tarts and party pies we ate extremely well, didn't have to mingle, didn't have to drive to Kirribilli in a downpour and find parking, and we didn't have to salute the Queen at 9.30. We nearly did the salute anyway because we also had Champagne and a couple of glasses of Coopers and a couple of glasses of Burgundy as well as the pinot flight - we would have saluted Bronywn Bishop if she walked past , oh yeah - the Central Otago won hands down. This place is just fantastic - go!

We walked in and many locals were choosing from the many tapas available: skewers of meat and seafood, and small plates of cheeses. Lots of people ordered wines and beers too. My friends and I ordered a variety of the tapas (all of them under €2!) such as the pork skewer, lamb skewer, patatas bravas, and the torrezno, which is thick bacon crackling - SO GOOD! A few of us, as we were pilgrims, ordered a pilgrim meal. Mine came with a big salad, grilled tuna, and a dessert of local cheese topped with honey. All excellent. Our waitress was very patient with all of us deciding what we wanted and occasionally ordering more food from the bar itself. Our drinks came out quickly and the tapas as soon as they were ready. Most of the tapas at the bar were presented raw, which they then grilled when you ordered so it would be served fresh and hot! I don't know when I'll be back in Burgos, but if I do, I will definitely come back here! Highly recommended! En castellano/español... Al lado de la Catedral queda esta tapería fantástica. Al entrar vimos a muchos lugareños escogiendo de los pinchos (tapas) disponibles: muchas brochetas de carne y pescado, y raciones de queso. Muchos pidieron los vinos y cervezas también. Mis amigos y yo pedimos una variedad de pinchos (¡todos a menos de 2€!), como las brochetas de solomillo de cerdo y el cordero, patatas bravas, y el torrezno - ¡qué RICO! Algunos de nosotros, como peregrinos, pedimos el menú (buena onda). El mío consistió de una ensalada grande, atún a la parrilla, y postre de queso local con miel. Todo excelente. Nuestra camarera tuvo mucha paciencia porque pasamos mucho tiemo dicidiendo lo que pedir y a veces entrábamos a escoger algo nuevo del bar. Trajo nuestras bebidas muy rápido y los pinchos tan pronto como estuvieran listas. La mayoría de los pinchos son crudos antes de pedir, y cuando se piden, se cocinan a la parrilla para que estén frescos y calientes. Si vuelvo a Burgos, ¡por cierto voy a regresar a este gran lugar. ¡Se lo recomiendo!

They have one very yummy vegetarian plate that I highly recommend. That said…read more.. I hate leaving negative reviews for small-town business, especially one that offers the rare vegetarian item. However, the server (owner?) is a dick. This was truly the oddest, rudest experience I've had at a restaurant. He easily sat us at a table for 5 and we were surrounded by at least three more empty 4 tops. This place is not crowded. Our kids ordered ice cream and we order a beer, wine and vegetarian plate. We like to try the plate before ordering more. He proceeds to get agitated and tell us what an inconvenience we are for him. That we ordered too little and are taking up too much space. We thought maybe something was being lost in translation. It was oddly rude. We are paying customers at this point. But he proceeds to tell us again. And then again. Each time he visits our table he reminds us how little we have ordered. That we are such an inconvenience. While there are empty tables. He doesn't provide napkins for my kids because they haven't ordered food, only ice cream. Cute town and we would have stayed longer but this jerk made us want to get out asap. I was a server for 6 years and I never had the balls to tell customers they were an inconvenience.
