Nor'Wester Café & Bar

Fodor's Review:

Sophisticated dining in rural places is one of life's great pleasures, especially when it involves the best regional produce. Here you can enjoy a meal inside the mellow 1928 bungalow with its fireplace or outside on the palm-shaded veranda. Lunch offers an eclectic mix of both casual and stylish dishes, and evening is formalized with the Classic After 5 menu. Be sure to try some of Rachel Scott's locally made seaweed-flavored bread or the fruit patés. Ostrich is another specialty. The espresso is superb, and you can complement your meal with one of the fabulous local wines.
