I have been so excited to share this newly discovered
spot...
Although I have been to the Wedding venue, Thornbirds, and
Dr Athens is my family GP, I had never been to Miss Grace. A gorgeous
restaurant established in November 2012 and run by Jeanette, daughter, Nicole
and son, Johnny Athens.
This family run business is one of those beautifully quaint
places that make the South Beautiful.
The decor is the gorgeous French country feel that is
popular at the moment, yet it doesn't feel like it was put together out of a
‘trendy cheap home store’ catalogue The owners at Miss Grace really have
tastefully put the elements together with such style while keeping a cosy feel.
Me, having grown up on a small holding only 3 plots away from this newly
discovered spot also probably adds to my delight in its discovery.
I couldn't stop snapping pics (see them below), there are
just so many pretty spaces created throughout the venue. There is a cosy couch
by the fire with tables to sit at inside, outside under cover and in the sun,
all without feeling too spread out or cramped. We opted for a leather couch
outside. Levi was at a friend but Nate was with us and enjoyed the gated off
grassy area by the jungle gym.
Hubby and I both ordered the Portuguese Style trinchado,
cubes of beef in sauce, served with hand cut chips (R60), and ordered a side of
veggies (R16) to share. It was very tasty and a substantial portion. We had a
cup of coffee to end the meal. The coffee was a bit weak, but for those who
know, I do prefer my coffee with a bit more body.
So with stronger coffee and possibly free wifi, it could
potentially become my favourite spot to have meetings, coffee dates, and
mentoring sessions. So, see you there!
