WOAP2015: Basque
Where? Basque (Wellington CBD, Wellington, New Zealand) Map Menu
When? Thursday August 27, 2015
Who? Tim, Damon, Jordan, Thomas, Jimmy, Reagan, Joe
Food Style? Northern Spanish
We're sometimes at Basque on a Thirsty Thursday because they have some of the best sangria in Wellington. They've got a pretty swanky rooftop bar as well, right in the midst of Courtenay Place's nightclub and bar area. I find their tapas food a bit pricey (like most tapas), and haven't tried their paella or pizza, but their Burger Wellington entry sounded good, so we scheduled a Thirsty Thursday there.
Burger: Chuck the Conquistador
Preston's beef with white wine cheese, burnt onion sour cream and semi-dried tomatoes in a Clareville Bakery bun, with baked potato and remoulade
A good, flavoursome burger with bits of jalapeno to add some spice and some great cheesiness and smokiness prominent through the burger. It was weird that the bun was so oily, but apart from that, it was pretty solid and enjoyable. I thought the baked potato was a nice addition in lieu of fries.
Would definitely eat again over most of their menu. I gave them eight out of ten.
