Flavours offers both pasta and meals off the grill, however is most well known in the Port Macquarie district for its pizzas and gelato bar.
A friend and I visited Flavours on a rainy Friday night for pre-Potter pizza. We ended up ordering the Bonny's pizza ($22.95) comprising chicken marinated in a mild green curry sauce, carrot, bean sprouts, shallots and coriander. I love Flavours's pizza for head chef Charlie Mainwaring's creative and original gourmet toppings. I would go as far to rate Flavours' Bonny's and Pigs Might Fly (thinly sliced pork belly, sweet black sauce, pickled red cabbage, spanish onion, baked mushrooms and coriander) as the best pizza's I have ever tasted.
As mentioned, Flavours offers much more than pizza, however other menu items- ranging from crispy skinned duck breast on a risotto bed to frenched lamb rack- tend to be pricey; all mains are $34 and pastas average $19.50. The restaurant also has an extensive cocktail list with most being priced at $13.95 and serves Holy Goat coffee.
Since its recent renovation, Flavours does not fail to provide customers with a pleasurable dining experience. And if the now rather-large restaurant is packed- which is often the case with this popular feeding place- Flavours does takeaway orders and passer-bys may stop in to drool over the home-made gelato (my favourites are white chocolate and mixed berry and burnt caramel).
I can currently find only two faults with Flavours. The first being that on this certain visit we had to ASK for menus (although the food did come out very quickly and we were out of the restaurant within 45 minutes). Secondly, the crowds of people that frequent the restaurants means that it is sometimes hard to hear your own voice. Thus Flavours would perhaps not be the best choice for a romantic dinner for two.
Flavours is open for dinner 7 days a week and serves breakfast/lunch from 7am on weekends, 48 Watonga Street Port Macquarie
