This place is an old favourite of ours and we lucked into a parking space right on Marine Drive as someone pulled out just as we were passing and also lucked into a table in the sun on the patio. It was probably available because it was too hot but we were prepared with sunglasses and hats and it was just perfect and lovely to sit out in the sun after a rather dreary month of rain and cloud since we returned from Palm Springs.
Draft Kilkenny....a perfect accompaniment.
I had the fish and chips...excellent example and very copious....Jim got some, of course.
Jim had the burger with the Caesar.
We wandered around a bit afterwards and went into Craig Yeats Gallery and even met the artist...seeing paint on his pants I figured he was the painter. We quite liked his paintings.
The Red Lion from across the street. It would be a cosy place inside on a cold winter night too but The Sylvia is closer.
We walked down to Dunderave Pier and reacquainted ourselves with The Beach House....also a good place to have a lunch.
There were a few kids and even adults taking a bit of a dip....really too cold yet for enjoyable ocean swimming. We also saw some people on the other side throwing out nets like we used to see around Spanish Banks. Perhaps fishing for herring. We don't see this much and wondering if it's a First Nations only fishery now. The photo of that didn't turn out.
