Shaky Bridge Cafe

I'm standing on the Shaky Bridge - a walking suspension bridge and looking at the little cafe we had dinner at last night. The night was warm - 25deg and we sat outside. I had confit of duck with potatoes sauté ed in duck fat. My SIL who we were visiting, John's 90 year old sister, had salmon and John naturally a 200gm steak!
Three good things:
1. More data hunting going on in this small town of Alexandra. I claimed 620mb!
2. The rabbit pie remains uneaten - maybe lunch tomorrow
3. There are lots of quails around here - so cute with the little crest!

Get out...a rabbit pie?!:)

[Delwyn Barnett]

Love the cute little cottage

[gloria jones]

Neat photo...neat framing, colors, textures

[Daisy Miller]

Nice framing. I think I would be tempted to stay here for a while just to enjoy the quail. I have liked quail since I was a child, but there are few quail around where I live now.

Almost hard to imagine having such wonderful food served in this little café .are we talking suspension bridge. you won't get me on one.

[Judith Johnson]

Love the softness in the grass. You wouldn't get me on a suspension bridge either.

@alophoto Not rabbit but duck, Amanda! lots of 'em about but not many with a drumstick like I had!

[Cathie]

Charming.

[KWind]

Wonderful shades of green.

[Valerie Chesney]

What a wonderful find & a great place for dinner. I do like those rocks in the foreground...

[John]

Everything looks so green! Sounds like a nice evening.

[Rick Schies]

The smoothness of the texture and colors really highlight this nicely

[Anita Campbell]

This looks like a cafe we'd enjoy -- sort of "funky", a bit different than the usual...... Nice capture of it.

[Maggiemae]

@aglennc The French people have just taken over and have this new menu and are very keen to be successful of course.!

[Tony]

Lovely capture. Unlikely looking location for a cafe

[Barb]

such a great part of the world!!

[Joyce]

Lovely colours and textures. Sounds like a delicious meal Maggie

[richard saffold]

[Jennifer]

sounds like a nice meal! Great place!

[Margaret Brown]

Nice capture, so green

[Taffy]

So beautifully captured, with great lighting. Sounds like quite a nice place to visit.

[Maggiemae]

@chard It is Richard - they all seemed to be French even the chef!

[Darlene]

What a beautiful place to eat at. Looks like you are out in the middle of nowhere. Sounds like a great dinner. Not sure I could eat rabbit pie. Maybe not tell me what it is till I try it. How was it?

[Maggiemae]

@darsphotos Totally delicious, Darlene - tender and a bit like chicken!

[Darlene]

@maggiemae Glad you enjoyed it. Have you had it before? I have had frogs legs and they taste like chicken too. My Dad was adventurous with foods we ate out when I was a kid and we tried different things. Looks like such a nice time you are having.

[Maggiemae]

@darsphotos It is Darlene, thank you! Shame its got to end.

[Darlene]

@maggiemae We have always wanted to buy a motorhome and travel the USA. With my health and finances we were not able to. You are lucky to have this time away to enjoy. You will do it again.

[Dianne]

Love it and this cafe is in such a lovely setting. Whilst visiting my sister who used to live in Alex, my claim to fame was mastering riding my bike over shaky bridge!

[Pat Knowles]

It looks delightful! We used to have rabbit pie when we were kids & visiting our Geordie Nana. Every time we visited she would make a rabbit pie for when we arrived. Us kids hated it but we must have eaten up because we had it everytime! You did eat up in those days!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat You ate what was put in front of you - except in my case, green veggies might have taken several hours! No the rabbit pie was delicious but we don't see it here in Oamaru!
