"We're going out for breakfast on Saturday," said he, "We have a 9 am reservation."
Reservation? For breakfast? Really?
And this is where he took me. It's in Sidney by the Sea, just a few miles north. Our good friends have their boat moored in the nearby marina and recommended the Sea Glass Restaurant. We did need that reservation.
Table 12 has the best view overlooking the marina. A grey day, but brightening. Masts reflected in the water rippled in the breeze.
Sea glass, shells, and watery shades of blue, green and aqua made for beautiful decor that just added to the experience.
And the breakfast? Wild salmon cakes on foccacia bread layered with spinach, topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Crispy potatoes on the side. A little dish of fruit. Earl Grey tea to drink. Delicious and satisfying. So satisfying that I brought home half of it and enjoyed it again on Sunday morning!
A great start to a Mother's Day weekend that included a wedding shower, dinner with children and grandchildren, puttering in the garden, phone calls with my daughters and more. I hope your weekend was equally wonderful.
Oh, that all looks delicious! Your whole weekend sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks delicious Lorrie!
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds full to the brim of earthy delights...maybe we'll see you out on your boat cruising the seas sometime soon!

What a fantastic idea. We often don't think about neat places to go for breakfast. But, after a breakfast like that one, I bet you were happy all day long.

Lorrie it sounds and looks like a great day and what a twist using salmon, rather than Canadian bacon on your breakfast entree...yum~

Sorry, typo. Should read, '...it's a sweet...', not 'its a sweet...'.
