With the sun finally out and looking like it is here to stay, what could be better than a chilled glass of Chateau Routas Provence Rose at Dida's?
Our new menu also sees the prawn and coriander fritters return, along with prawns lightly sauteed with garlic and chilli.
As well as the very popular char-grilled seasonal vegetables, Dida’s serves ‘mali degustacija’ - a collection of fresh flavoursome dishes that can be eaten on your own or shared. More than appetizers, these represent, in their social context, both a style of eating and a way of life, and with their versatility create a wonderful complement to Dida’s numerous wine, beer and spirit offerings.
Dida’s is situated on Glengarry’s original site, the very location that ‘Dida’ (meaning grandfather in Croatian) started the family business way back in the 40s. We are delighted to introduce to our locals their new local wine lounge manager.
Dan Leahy is a vivacious Melbournian who loves great food and wine. What’s more, Dan knows and loves giving great customer service. Alongside Dan, Corde is a passionate cabernet performer who continues to add verve and zest to Dida’s. Dan and Corde are now joined by Sebastian from Colombia, and Manon from France.
Sebastian and Manon both love working in New Zealand soaking up our vibrant culture, including great food and wine.
