Loading Bay

My Sandton Blonde was down in the Cape recently visiting her boyperson (because she has finally realised that Cape Town boys are soooo much better). We went for a quick little lunch catch up sesh, ok not THAT quick but there was considerable less drama to exchange now that both of us suddenly seem to have less complicated lovelives - possibly the reason for global warming. Which is funny. Because we met as finalists in Miss Earth SA.

Decided to try out Loading Bay in De Waterkant; neither of us had been there before and I saw a lil review of it somewhere that piqued my interest. Awesome, chilled Mother City vibe! Our waiter was super cool and friendly; he gets bonus points for suggesting I add avocado onto my sandwich when I asked for it without the bacon - great move that was. I ordered the Chicken Camembert sandwich on Sour Dough, delicious. All the sandwiches can be ordered on 66% Rye, Sour Dough or Ciabatta. Mine consisted of free range chicken,avo (replacing the usual crispy bacon), camembert, figs, pinenuts,rocket & basil mayo. To drink I had an iced coffee, which was a little small for my liking (it was hot ok, I was thirsty) but luckily the barista boy was even hotter than the weather and I probably wouldn't have complained if it was the size of an expresso cup :P

I hear there's a vibe on 'Burger Thursdays' where booking is advised, and they also have wines and beers - &Union obviously :P
