We decided to have lunch at Alexis today. Before we sat down I scouted out for any sight of the Meringue or Pavlova. We were in luck as the Pavlova was in the house. We order the Sauteed Butter Mushroom Tapas for starters, Lamb Cutlets for main and Pavlova for dessert. Afraid the Pavlova would run out we ate the dessert first followed by the starter. Verdict? Mushroom tapas was superb, lamb was excellent and it came with a tasty helping of couscous so I'd recommend both of these dishes. Finally, the pavlova was heavenly. Compared to the meringue, pavlova is sweeter and you'll have to eat the cream first before getting to the pavlova where as the meringue is interleaved with cream so you get to eat both at the same time. So for me, between the two, number one is the meringue and second is the pavlova.
