St Kilda Beach and Beachcomber Cafe

Today was another scorcher and most of it was spent at home where it was cool indoors!

After waking up at 7am to let the girls out, I stumbled back into bed and woke up again at the late hour of 10:30am.  And it was only because my cousins were outside loudly ringing the doorbell!

They finally left at 3pm; which is about the same time that May woke up so that we could finally go bridal shopping!  Shopping for wedding dresses really isn't that fun.  But seeing as this is only my second time around, I shouldn't be so quick to dislike it.

More to come later on how that goes.

After dress shopping, May and I met up with Ant at Borders where he was doing his usual free reading.  From Melb Central, Paul and Oy picked us up to go to St Kilda for dinner.

We ate at the Sea Baths which is right on the Esplanade, with views of the beach.  The Restaurant was called Beachcomber Cafe.

The food was good - and for the prices they charged it shouldn't have been anything less!  Oy and Ant had the Fisherman's Basket which was au$36 and although pricey, was quite worth it with prawn and scallop skewers, battered mussels, fish bites and fries.

I had the au$20 Beach Burger which had a yummy relish and huge beef patti, and fries.  I also ordered wedges which cost about au$12 and a huge waste seeing as our meals came with fries.

Paul, Mr Gluten-free, had the risotto which was the smallest portion on our table, but he declared it as being yummy.  Most of the waiters there are backpackers on a working visa, ours was a lovely French guy who needed to refer us to another waiter to understand what 'gluten free' meant.

Outside Beachcomber Cafe's parking lot - see if you can spot Ant who happened to walk into view with Paul after they parked the car.
