Last Sunday we joined our granddaughters and their parents for a casual lunch. The café scene easily seduces Tim, but it takes a family visit to remind me to relax and enjoy it.
Tim’s favourite for a morning coffee is Mejavo’s, which is a café cum deli that faces the north for sun and has a friendly long table, as does the Sandbah Café (see Extras).
We chose the Sandbah for our Sunday lunch. Any warm day you will find crowds flowing onto the footpath at this iconic Torquay café in Gilbert Street. There is room outside for the many dog owners to tether their dogs with a bowl of water, bike riders to hitch their bikes, and elders travelling in motorised carts to find space.
The girls wanted only chippies! Their mum and dad had a veggie burger and a wrap. Tim had fish and chips and I had a really fresh salad with lamb.
Our lunch reminded me that sitting in the sun, watching people stroll by is one my greatest pleasures in life – second only to a meal in my favourite restaurant. I will post about that next time.
