By all means close on a Monday and Tuesday, but in a fairly residential area doesn't it make more sense to open on Sunday?<br /><br />Oh, actually I do have one more gripe - why have they not had their amazing mushroom panini (check your spelling) on the menu of late?<br /><br />Other than that, Pigeon Hole, if you were human I'd marry you!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428973718837465589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654323351013038175.post-84442701528588957922009-08-29T13:10:05.495+10:002009-08-29T13:10:05.495+10:00At risk of sounding like a suck, I love pigeon hol...At risk of sounding like a suck, I love pigeon hole. I admire Em & Jay's commitment to quality & their cafe stands as a benchmark for other operators.<br />I also like the way they have decided not to open nights & Sundays-people need a life. Perhaps this ia attributed to their continued zest-the fact that they can have a life outside of work? Bitta balance goes a long way innit? <br />I hope Hobart doesn[t go the way of all the other cities, everthing open 24/7 & if this is their way of putting the brakes on, I applaude them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654323351013038175.post-27755043840387038022009-08-29T13:09:52.068+10:002009-08-29T13:09:52.068+10:00We were referred there by Steve Cumper of The Red ...We were referred there by Steve Cumper of The Red Velvet Lounge, so knew it had to be worth a detour to on our arrival in Tassie.<br /><br />Pigeon Hole's rustic approach of serving food on wooden boards is a nice touch that we didn't expect in the broccante style venue. There was a great vibe, the hosts are wonderful and warm spirited people. I think the good people of Hobart are yet to feel comfortable with the communal table idea ;) but we loved sitting in the window & were expecting people to hop on it too. Perhaps we looked too much like scary tourists?<br /><br />On our visit we really enjoyed both the eggs en cocotte with jamon serrano and the toasted sandwich with caramalised onion & Gruyere. The fact that they use wonderful local produce is a big drawcard, and the 'real milk' offsets their beautiful coffee wonderfully...oh and did I mention the hot chocolate....? *swoon*stickyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861830835308131738noreply@blogger.com
