Designed in a laid back Southern French style, Sebastien's is your friendly neighbourhood bistro, offering an inviting atmosphere where diners can tuck into a hearty menu of provincial French specialties such as duck confit and beef casserole complemented by a short but savvy wine. A delectable selection of French breakfast items is also served daily.
The former gourmet store extension in the bistrot has been converted into a wine enclave offering a myriad well-made wines of boutique vineyards from lesser-known regions which were selected for their superb value and impeccable quality.

Happy little SpongeBob too gay for US conservatives
It's just a cartoon character people - grow up and get over it
Happy little SpongeBob too gay for US conservatives
January 21, 2005
On the heels of electoral victories to bar same-sex marriage, some influential conservative Christian groups are turning their attention to a new target: the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants.
"Does anybody here know SpongeBob?" Dr James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, asked guests on Tuesday at a black-tie dinner for members of Congress and political allies.
In many circles, SpongeBob needs no introduction. He is popular among children as well as adults who watch him cavorting under the sea on the Nickelodeon cartoon program that bears his name. In addition, he has become a well-known camp figure among adult gay men, perhaps because he holds hands with his animated sidekick Patrick and likes to watch the imaginary television show The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
Now, Dr Dobson said, SpongeBob's creators had enlisted him in a "pro-homosexual video", in which he appeared alongside other children's television characters. The makers of the video, he said, planned to mail it to thousands of schools this northern spring to promote a "tolerance pledge" that includes tolerance for differences of "sexual identity".
The video's creator, Nile Rodgers, who wrote the disco hit We Are Family and led the group Chic, says Dr Dobson's objection stemmed from a misunderstanding. Rodgers said he founded the We Are Family Foundation after the September 11 attacks to create a music video featuring 100 well-known cartoon characters dancing to his song to teach children about multiculturalism.
Nothing in the video or its accompanying materials refers to sexual identity.
Rodgers suggested that Dr Dobson might have been confused because of an unrelated website belonging to another group called We Are Family. That site is owned by a South Carolina group aimed at supporting gay youth.

Gay bombs: US secret weapon plan
Weapons of mass seduction demonstrating the principle of 'making love, not war'
Gay bombs: US secret weapon plan
January 14, 2005 - 3:05PM
A US plan to develop a bad breath bomb and a chemical weapon to make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other has been revealed in newly declassified documents.
New Scientist's web site reports that the documents show the Pentagon considered a range of non-lethal chemical weapons aimed at disrupting enemy discipline and morale.
The "sex bomb" idea would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, it states.
Also considered were concoctions that would be irresistible to wasps or angry rats to render enemy bases uninhabitable.
And there was the bad breath bomb idea - a weapon that caused "severe and lasting halitosis" to make it easier to sniff out spies.
Other ideas dating back to 1994 from the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Ohio included making soldiers' skin react painfully to sunlight.
The lab sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called "harassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals". The plans have been posted online by the Sunshine Project, an organisation that exposes research into chemical and biological weapons.

An affected paradise
An oasis in the city's heart,
For its parched inhabitants.
See. The blacks, greys and blues of the office suit.
Hear. The chatter of abrasive mouths on mobile phones.
Smell. The odorous poison of cigarettes.
Taste. The artificiality of sweetened drinks.
Feel. The faceless throngs brush rudely past.
See. The flashes of feathery fire.
Hear. The natural symphony of the finest orchestra.
Smell. The heady perfume of flora exotica.
Taste. The spice of life.
Feel. And be touched in return.
The Royal Botanic Gardens, an affected paradise.
