Bungalow 8 is a wharf front bar/restaurant. We had been told by one of our friends that Tuesday is their all you can eat mussels for $30. I love mussels so this was something we just had to experience.
We made lunch reservations for 1pm but showed up a tad early. We were seated at a nice outdoor table. Our waitress explained the mussel selections such as provencal style, white wine and garlic and Thai style. She told us that the mussels included a drink, bread and chips. We could have as many portions as we desired and as many styles we desired. We were given wrist bands that identified us as here for the Mussel special. We placed our first order of Provencal Mussels for my husband and White Wine Sauce for myself. We took our drink voucher to the bar for some beer; a Toohey's for the hubby and a Pure Blonde for me (my favourite).
Our mussels arrived in a huge Belgian styled pot with chips and a large pice of bread. The pots contained tons of steaming hot mussels in their broth. Wow...the mussels were incredibly fresh and delicious. The sauce was perfect for dunking the warm bread. The chips were excellent and crispy and found their way into my sauce several times.
After eating our first bowl we relaxed a bit before ordering round two. For our second portion I tried the provencal style and hubby tried the Thai style. He really enjoyed the Thai style which was very fresh tasting with a nice creamy sauce. We couldn't finish our second portions since we were so full.
This was an awesome place for lunch and I will definitely do it again; especially on a Tuesday.
I loved the outdoor seating since we both love to people watch.
