After a day driving between garden centres and lugging heavy troughs up to the roof terrace, we decided to treat ourselves to the long awaited evening out to Cappuccinos.
I really wanted to be impressed with this Bar/Restaurant and to a greater extent we were.
It was still chilly on Friday night – rain and cold wind being the order of most of our ten days away actually – so we opted to sit inside. The décor is fabulous and very comfortable, with the lovely soft jazz playing in the background. (And NO tv, thankfully, which was a real bug bear whilst eating out this week!)
The smartly dressed and smiling waiter came to take our order almost immediately. We had a drink each to start, I had a mojito and hubby had a small beer. A small pot of peanuts was placed on the table with the drinks.
The menu is not particularly extensive, I chose the prawn and chicken noodle dish, and hubby had a lasagne.
My dish was superb, served up in a big bowl with a good helping of prawn and chicken with the noodles and included plenty of veg in it too.
Hubbys on the other hand was pretty minimalist, just a smallish portion of albeit tasty lasagne, on a tomato soup reduction. Not a meal to stave off any hunger pangs. Hubby finished off the lasagne, then the nuts, and helped out with my noodle dish – flipping cheek!
We had a glass of house red and a glass of house white with our meal, pleasant, but I can’t actually remember what it was.
We decided to end our evening with a couple of cappuccinos whilst we sat on their very comfy sofas, listening to the music and watching the world go by outside. People wandered in – and usually out again – or just sat outside with their coats on by the cosy looking fires, which don’t actually give out much heat by the way, drinking their evening coffees whilst the waiters busied themselves with bringing in chairs from the terrace out by the private pier – which may have made a scrape or two on the shiny floor!
I also treated myself to one of their CD’s.
I loved the ambience of Cappuccinos and if I were a millionaire I would visit every evening, however I am not, and I do also like to feel just a little tipsy after a mojito! Service could be a little sharper, although they always seemed to be busy, it did take a little effort to catch their eye.
This restful evening came to €84. We ate in the following night!
