trevinos is a local establishment that offers Cantabrians a<br />
quality – yet unpretentious – dining experience.<br />
the comfortable atmosphere, which we encounter on<br />
the night we visit, lends itself to catching up with family and<br />
friends over an impressive meal. suitable for both small and<br />
large groups, it’s an excellent venue for birthdays and special<br />
occasions, with conference space upstairs that can cater for<br />
up to 120 people in a cocktail environment. It’s a fun place to<br />
socialise, watch the rugby game or listen to live music. there’s<br />
even a spacious outdoor terrace that can be utilised year-round<br />
thanks to space heaters.<br />
With an extensive menu of crowd pleasers, trevinos caters<br />
to all appetites and palates. the all-day eatery serves brunch<br />
and $20 lunch from Monday to Friday. We peruse the dinner<br />
menu, which features several Kiwi classics, and everything from<br />
lighter fare and salads to pastas, pizzas and meat-centric mains.<br />
the comprehensive drinks list offers an array of wines, beers,<br />
and cocktails, with sangria being an obvious winner.<br />
after being offered a selection of olives, we kicked off our<br />
meal with salt and pepper squid. Lightly battered and perfectly<br />
seasoned, the crispy texture made it easy to polish off the entire<br />
plate. For our mains, we indulged in two of the more hearty<br />
dishes: the cinnamon-spiced duck leg served on a bed of garlic<br />
mash, ratatouille of vegetables, dark cherry glaze; and the grilled<br />
lamb rump served with honey mustard and bacon potatoes with<br />
roast vegetables. on a cold night, these dishes were perfectly<br />
substantial, and neither of us could fathom the idea of dessert.<br />
With inventive updates on traditional dishes, trevinos takes<br />
comfort food to the next level. the enticing ingredients<br />
delight the senses and the generous portions ensure nobody<br />
leaves hungry. Whatever you’re craving, this neighbourhood<br />
institution won’t disappoint. We left with full tummies, grateful<br />
for the impeccable service, comfortable atmosphere and<br />
delicious food.<br />
