We have some friends in Town who are staying at the One&Only Hotel and they invited us to have lunch with them. Normally our lunchtime meals will be at one of the cafes/restaurants near where we live such as Shakespeares or the Lime Tree Cafe and so both E and I were looking forward to trying out somewhere new and the beach bar and grill did not disappoint.
We had a “staycation” at this hotel at the end of last Summer and remembered it as being quiet and fairly low-key although the restaurant where we met our friends was over the other side of the complex at the far end of the beach. The menu was mainly steak or grilled fish and I started off with some grilled octopus that was lovely and then we all had the ribeye steak. However the real star of the show was the view and atmosphere from our table outside on the verandah - we were perched on the edge of the beach looking out towards the Palm with the gin palaces jostling for position just offshore. The music could best be described as Ibiza chill out and really added to the laidback atmosphere.
It was a very pleasant and leisurely lunch (we did not finish until 4:30pm) and is going to make it very difficult to return to our regular haunts!
