Melanie's Guidebook
Food scene
We love these local breakfast/lunch restaurants.
The eggs Benedict at Clementine is to die for and the service is unsurpassed! You have to be there before 10 am on a Sunday though or you will likely not get a table or the wait would be lengthy. Enjoy!
The Gates on Roblin and Pine Ridge Hollow are a bit of a drive from our AirBnB but well worth it the exploring. The setting and the food are unreal!
Segovia is close by for a small plate unique tapas meal.
Clementine
123 Princess StWe love the gift shop here and the food. It’s out of town about 30 minutes but well worth the drive. Great for a leisurely brunch on a Sunday.

The owner here is super friendly and really takes an interest in each guest. You could go there only once and come back in 6 months and he will remember you and probably some of your food preferences too! The portions here are ridiculously huge so share something with your partner unless you are completely starving.
