For dinner, we went to the restaurant Lobster Gables on Main Street.
We sat out on the patio with a beautiful view over the bay.
Most times, I only order seafood or clam chowder, because my traveling companions tend to order full platters. Supersize me, everytime…. dinners tend to be big, especially the side of french fries. When I asked the waitress about it, she said, “People pay a lot for their food, so they expect a lot of food.” Remember this as a guideline: the side dishes mentioned in very fine print tend to be the biggest part of your meal.
Anyway, back to the restaurant. The service and menu were very good. We had seafood chowder, a BLT sandwich, a fish platter, and shrimp.
There are quite a few restaurants on Main Street, most of them facing the water. But this one you can’t miss if you look for their sign.
The entryway to the back patio is lined with typical maritime knick-knacks such as lobster buoys.
The best part of the dinner though was my suggestion to have a pitcher of Sangria! I saw two ladies at a neighbouring table having one and they looked very happy. When I asked them about it, they immediately toasted to us, so I knew I wanted that stuff too.
My husband was not too keen on it and I learned, after having been married to him for 23 years, that he had never even tried Sangria. I have to admit, I’m a bit of a late bloomer myself, because I had Sangria on Mallorca (November 2012) for the very first time myself.
The end of the story is – we ordered a pitcher of Sangria and we ended up looking as happy as the two ladies at the other table. My husband liked it so much, I’m beginning to think I should make it myself on hot summer nights on our balcony in Germany.
So if you stop by the Lobster Gables, try their pitcher of Sangria (27 CAN$).
