DENDY PORTSIDE MY FAIR LADY –

MONDAY, JUNE 18 10AM AND 6PM

JAZZ SUNDAYS AT BYBLOS With a new winter cocktail list just launched, now is a great time to slip into Byblos and sample the creative concoctions – and on Sunday you can throw in live tunes too.

With special prices and music from jazz band Phoenix from 3pm to 6pm, there is no better way to celebrate the week gone and see in the one just beginning.

CATCH THIS SPECIAL SCREENING OF THE HOLLYWOOD CLASSIC, MY FAIR LADY AT DENDY PORTSIDE ON MONDAY, JUNE 18 AT EITHER 10AM OR 6PM. Watch as the egotistical Professor Henry Higgins bets his friend Colonel Pickering that he can transform unrefined Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) into a lady. Young aristocrat Freddy falls in love with the sophisticated new Eliza, and as she becomes less reliant upon Higgins, he realises he can’t live without her.

YOUR CHANCE TO WIN! For your chance to win one of 10 double passes to see MY FAIR LADY simply ‘LIKE’ the Portside Wharf Facebook Page or ‘LIKE’ the post pertaining to this competition by June 1. Winners announced on Facebook on Monday, June 4.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL Roll up, roll up, the circus is coming to town. But not just any circus, the world famous Cirque du Soleil will be at Northshore Hamilton from July 14 to August 19 with their new show OVO – a teaming world of insects.

The big top will be set up at Northshore Riverside Park, making Portside Wharf the ideal port of call for all your pre and post celebrations.

MANX

BYBLOS

SONO

Cruisers Café Bar & Grill is offering a $35 banquet including bread and dips, your choice of main course and dessert, as well as a glass of wine and coffee.

But don’t rush all your courses at once. Why not have the main fare and then return after the show for coffee and dessert?

Pop into Manx for an early pre-show dinner and save!

Be seated before 6.30pm for special lunch prices on their new dinner menu.

You’ll have enough change left over to return for a postshow drink!

Byblos has designed two special cocktails to celebrate Cirque du Soleil – a Queen Bee Martini for the ladies and an Orvalho Treacle for the gents. Show your circus ticket and enjoy two cocktails for the price of one!

Sono are serving up a Sono-Ovo dessert, all presented in a glass egg!

DINING BYBLOS LAUNCHES NEW MENU

Byblos has gone rustic this winter, with new clay crockery and a new menu on offer. With more than 30 modern Lebanese-style dishes you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Try the Moghrabieh – a rustic staple meal combining pearl cous cous and chick peas, slow cooked and mixed with onion, lamb and a traditional gravy then topped with chicken. Mmmmmm.

SONO - SAKE AND SUKIYAKI

SONO – READERS DEAL

Sake and sukiyaki – they sound similar but are very different, although equally as good at warming you up!

Sake, a traditional Japanese drink brewed from rice, can be served hot, cold or at room temperature.

Sono Japanese Restaurant is giving readers of Inside Portside the chance to sample their delicious Japanese fare at a special price until the end of May.

Try it hot as a winter warmer and drink it while you feast on a Japanese hot pot of thinly sliced wagyu beef with vegetables, cooked at the table in sweet soy sukiyaki sauce. Yum.

Enjoy a two-course special menu for only $35 per person, including rice and miso soup, for dinner from Tuesday to Thursday and lunch from Wednesday to Friday until May 30. Simply mention this deal when booking to receive the special offer. Bookings are essential.

MOVENPICK WARM UP WITH A WAFFLE

Movenpick has freshly baked Belgian waffles just in time for winter. For a limited time, Movenpick Portside are offering a coffee and waffle deal for just $6.95 so wander in and warm up for less!

MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR AT MANX Manx has just unveiled a new menu that will leave guests walking away with a full belly and a full wallet.

With the lunch menu starting from $20 and dinner from $22, it is a menu that is big on taste without being big on price. Be seated by 6.30pm for dinner and get your meal at lunch time prices!
