Sea la vie Restaurant

All in a day’s work

Adrian (Sea la vie) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:14:16 +0000

As a restauranteur there is always lots to do (believe me). I added another bow yesterday (Sunday 28/2/10) - babysitting!

I loved every second!

Take a look at the video - All in a day’s work

A Wine Tasting (A perk of the job!)

Adrian (Sea la vie) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 09:45:24 +0000

Mel (our Executive Chef) and I (Adrian) went to the City this afternoon for a “New Zealand Wine in Glass” wine tasting. Someone has to do it! It may as well be us - it’s a perk, I guess.

Here is the video link to a snippet of our afternoon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9zbiOHxv1g

P.S. Australian Sauvignon Blancs are better (more comlpex and fruity)- by miles!

The life of “Wally”

: Wally (left) - 5 weeks old

Wally (top left) with Mum and sibblings (all 5 weeks old)

Wally and Daniel - 8 weeks, the day we took Wally "home"

Some of you will know that we had an addition to our family in August, 2009. Yes, we welcomed Wally in to the Meredith family.

He is our second Jack Russell Terrier. Our first, Terry, lived a health 16 years and a few months. We miss Terry lots.

With Terry’s passing, Wally has bought us new found energy (and loads of it) in to our household. He loves people, loves playing and boy can he jump for a little fellow.

These pictures show the life of Wally (now 8 months).

Wally - 11 weeks (how cute!)

Wally - 20 weeks (standing still, unusual)

Wally - 5 months old (loves our beds)

An Amazing Christmas

What a lunch! Full of Christmas Spirit.

Sea la vie held its second FREE Christmas Day Lunch. What an amazing day. We hosted some 120 for lunch. The spirit was great, we had loads of wonderful helpers and loads of items donated by people within the community.

The help we receive from the community - helpers and donations, is a real inspiration and what Christmas is all about. Thank you.

To boot (an absolute bonus) we raised $2300 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

How great do the pictures look of people sharing Christmas lunch!

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed each others company outside of the normal Sea la vie walls.

On Wednesday 7th October, Sea la vie hosted the UNSW Solar Car ”IVy” launch.

A beautiful morning, a great breakfast, a great reason.

The UNSW is entering the Global Challenge - a solar car race from Darwin to Adelaide. The race starts on Saturday 24th October.

Go IVy!

A Privileged Location

Sea la vie is located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, NSW, Australia. It is a privileged and beautiful position.

These pictures were taken one morning during winter.

A night of Fun - a 60th Birthday Party

A 60th birthday party. Great people, great FUN!

Here’s what the birthday girl (a Dee Why local) had to say:

“Thank you for an absolutely lovely birthday dinner on Friday night.
It was way beyond our expectations.

The food was absolutely superb and we have only had wonderful feedback regarding your restaurant and the meal.

Please thank everyone, including the chef, Erika and the other floor staff and yourselves for the great food and hospitality.”

How good is that!

Gee that makes me feel good. I love what I do!
