A walk, lunch and a chat is a great way to spend a friday. Friends Caitlin, Eve & I ventured out on this rainy Friday for a gentle stroll down St. Georges Walk along the estuary, spotting the odd bird scuttering in the mud, and making a wild stab at identifying what they were.
Then back to Johnny's cafe and a seat in the window overlooking the harbour. One day there might be a busy, bustling marina there, but at the moment it has its own neglected charm.
Johnny's Cafe is well-known to residents in Hayle. It's unashamedly vegetarian, and serves up great breakfasts, lunch and cakes. None of us are vegetarian, but I don't think any of us felt the lack of meat. The food is lovely - I've not had a bad experience on any of the occasions that I've visited. I chose an aubergine and coconut curry from the specials board. It was delicious, spicy but not too hot and served wth brown rice, which is so much more satisfactory than white rice; Eve had a spinach quiche which she said was excellent, and was particularly impressed by the interesting leaves and seed salad with which it was served; and Caitlin had umm'd and ah'd quite lot, skittering through the menu and finally settling on the bean burger which, she said, was the best she had ever had.
We were tempted by the dessert and the yummy looking cakes, but resisted. We'll go back another time.
