A new friend brought me here the other day.
What began as a coffee and a chat turned into sipping delicious drinks, and sharing banana bread along with our stories and hearts.
We were lucky enough to snag a table at the end of the dock. Our view of Balmoral Beach was the perfect background, even with the overcast skies.
The menu was simple and locally sourced. Everything sounded scrumptious, and I'm sure they were worth the Sydney-sized prices. Thankfully, my companion agreed that a shared plate was the (economical) way to go.
After much deliberation we decided on the grilled banana bread with marscapone and compote. Served up on a wooden platter with mango, plum, strawberry, and two slabs of butter.
I also ordered the iced chai, as this isn't an option I've seen often around here. And it seemed like a great way to beat the 80-something degrees 32 degrees C heat.
We had a nice, winding chat. You know, the kind that starts at one point, then the next minute you're talking about something else and you're not quite sure how you got there, but you know it was the right time for it. We talked about places we've travelled to, delicious foods we've eaten, fears we have, people we grew up with, things we've learned, and finally, places we want to travel to.
We sat and talked, letting the food settle before we began the short hike back to the car.
I'm already planning my next visit to this scrumptious place!
