It's been a long time I know. And this post doesn't even have a pic - what poor form. But please read on as I think this place is worth a visit.
The Centennial Hotel is a pub on Oxford Street, opposite Centennial Park. A bit middle of nowhere but that means relatively easy parking. We were a birthday party of 10 including a newborn baby in a pram on a rainy Sunday afternoon at the unconventional hour of 3pm.
The large modern dining room is out the back and features an open kitchen, a wall of glass windows and wood panelling. It was buzzing, and the clientele ranged from big groups with kids to couples.
The Italian inspired food was surprisingly good. We sampled a range of antipasti including zucchini fritters, whitebait, fried artichoke and grilled haloumi. The blue swimmer crab linguine with chilli was fresh and light but a little spicy for some. The big plate salads, fish and wood-fired pizzas all looked a treat.
Stella enjoyed a margarita pizza off the children's menu as well as samples from everyone else's meals.
The Centennial has high chairs, a good children's menu and crayons for drawing on the paper table cloths. What's nice about this place is that its child friendliness doesn't compromise an elegant sophisticated dining experience.
Prices are average restaurant prices.
