Lunch with a View.

Isn't that nice? One morning while in Cape Town, S, G and I took off for Boulder's Beach to hang with the penguins, Cape Point to see Cape Point, and then off to Imhoff Farm for a lovely afternoon lunch. This up here was the view from our table. Pretty sweet.

The menu at The Blue Water Cafe for Imhoff Farm sounded amazing. Open faced sandwiches of every type. It was hard to know what to order on the menu... so we started off with drinks...

G started off with a Grapetiser.

The 'tiser' family of drink is one of G's favorite things. S had turned me on to the Windhoek Light, so of course I had to have that when offerred!

Blurry beer, clear background. Just imagine you're nearsighted. The far away is the far prettier thing.

So after much discussion, we made our orders. We were not sure what the sandwiches would look like, but they sounded amazing so we all picked a different one in case anyone wanted to share (which I almost never do) and sat pack and waited. The wait wasn't long, and we had condiments to pass the time...

Okay, we didn't pass the time with the condiments, but they did present a pretty little picture...

Then came the sandwiches. Oh boy.

First up, S's roasted veggie...


You might be questioning how this could be classified as a sandwich. Well, there's bread under there, you just can't see it. But it is like a giant wodge of salad with sandwichy toppings interspersed on top of a piece (or two) of bread. S proclaimed this to be a mighty good sandwich, but perhaps not as good as mine...


Mmmmm. Mine was chicken, bacon, tomatoes, brie, avocado pear (which was supposed to be there but wasn't) and lots of rocket. I am not a huge fan of gigantic piles of lettuce, but the bacon, chicken and cheese on this was spectacular. It may not have been as fantastic as G's though... The Full English Sandwich...

Oh yes. That is the winner. It had two beautifully fried eggs, beef sausage, grilled tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, bread, and rocket. It was lovely. And she wouldn't share either. Nor should she have.

The Imhoff Farm is an absolute lovely farm. Thanks S, for another excellent recommendation!
