J and I went to see a (bad but free) movie at Cinema Nova in Carlton the other night for Date Night. We ended up getting out of the cinema at about 9:30pm with low expectations of finding anything to eat between the Nova and home. We tried a few places on Lygon Street but all the kitchens were closed or about to be so. We thought we would try Markov Place (behind the Cleanskin shop on Drummond Street) which always has a great wine list and nice staff with great manners and fun attitude and where we could at least be assured of a decent post-movie wine. What we weren't really expecting though was a fantastic meal to go with it - but that is certainly what we got. We both ordered the Prawn Linguine with brocolli, Olives, and Tomato which was fantastic. I love that you also get your own bowl of Parmesan and two little bottles - one filled with garlic infused and the other with chilli infused olive oil, these rituals lift the dining experience above ordinary. I definitely recommend my 'secret' local little bar.
