Lunch at the Bay

What's the antidote to a wet day and a depressing visit to see an elderly relative in hospital...a lovely lunch down at the Fish Cafe, Manly Harbour by Moreton Bay.
Our view from the cafe...
We had delicious local Tempura whiting, chips, fresh salad and aioli.
At first we were just going to finish with one of these...
But then we espied the "Poached Pear Tart" with Vanilla Bean ice cream......oh my goodness!,
Devine is a word that comes to mind. We were very good though and thank goodness we had decided to share it. We would have licked the plate clean if it wouldn't have been so unseemly. LOL.
So I am now taking my very full tummy to hibernate with a little bear stitchery block for the rest of the afternoon. Moods have lifted considerably though.

    It IS a bit miserable - but a lunch out and a good coffee - oh and dessert - would surely help. Love your new quilt stand too. They are hard to come by.., Eventually Mr R will work out its there and avoid it!

    Yum. Looks delicious (especially the pear tart), lovely surroundings and so pleased you were feeling brighter after the outing and spending time with a little bear.
