I started our south-coast breakfasts series in order to shout about the many great independent eateries we have in this area, but this week we found ourselves at a chain restaurant and the experience was so utterly underwhelming that I very nearly didn’t bother to blog about it, but then I realised that if I…
Sounds like you had a really bad experience!

What a shame you had a bad experience, I haven’t been to a Cafe Rouge for years either. Your french toast and honey does look good though!
The pics on my blog are at Hotham Park – don’t know if you’ve been there before but its quite a nice park for somewhere local. We go there quite a bit and often take monkey nuts to feed the squirrels! x
I hate it when service is slow and I have a toddler with me… I noticed the requisite car with Theo! My youngest had an imaginary husband “McKeen” who was an army guy and they produced oodles of children (some who would disappear only to be replaced with more). We always had to have 6 seats – one for him and at least a couple of the babies. Eventually McKeen went away somewhere and disappeared too. I love your blogs on places you eat. I think breakfast out is my favourite meal to eat out.
