Orange



That chip crey (crey, crey, crey). 
Orange can add delightful hot chips to their repertoire of espresso martinis and reasonably priced wine. These chips are reminiscent of rustic pub wedges combined with South Yarra trendiness as the crumbed, flakey interior of the potato belong in outback Australia while the presentation and the thick aioli suit the Chapel Street vibes. They complement a nice glass of wine and paired perfectly with a bourbon and coke. Cooked to perfection and satisfying the taste buds with or without the accompanying sauce, it is hard to flaw them. However, the soft interior was far too fluffy, sticking the potato to the back of the throat. While they reached the balance between wedge and fry, they lacked the memorable quality that constitutes a great bowl of chips. If you’re heading down to Chapel Street for a lazy Thursday night drink, try ordering a side of chips at Orange, but don't expect to have your mind blown.
