Restaurant Of The Month - Corellis

Live Music And Tasty Treats

Devonport’s Corelli’s has become more than just a popular café in the short time since it opened – it has become a favourite haunt for live music and entertainment in Devonport.

There’s something happening – from live Flamenco and dancing through to jazz and Irish bands – at least once a week and when there’s not, the locals still love to turn up for a drink and a meal in the uniquely cosy Corelli’s atmosphere.

“We’ve been getting really good, fun crowds out to enjoy themselves and the live music,” says owner Ann O’Sullivan.

That statement certainly held true when Channel visited one Thursday night, to find popular Irish band, The Blacksmiths, playing to a happy, dancing full house.

As well as the popular live entertainment, Corelli’s has earned itself a reputation for good tasty home-style fare at a great price. Alongside the traditional favourites, the special menu changes daily and is always sure to please. The real highlight in the evening however is the $15 dinner special, which includes a main and a dessert. Another comes every Sunday, when Corelli’s play host to the tastiest Sunday roast this side of the bridge.

Free WiFi is available so during the day you’ll find a lot of people doing their work or surfing the net while they enjoy freshly roasted coffee, a cake or a homemade treat.

In fact, they actually make their own coffee and roast it on site, using a blend of five different beans – this is a quality coffee that is building a strong following of enthusiasts. 250gram bags of Corelli’s own five-bean coffee can be bought in the café for just $8.

The home baked scones and treats add to the Corelli’s do-it-yourself ethos that is proving so popular that customers are eating it up – especially the Sticky Date Pudding and Fruit Crumbles.

Come in and try it… you’re sure to enjoy!
