What is your favorite restaurant?
This is a hard question to limit to just one.
I have two favourite restaurants local to me in Sunbury. They are the Italian restaurant Itahlia and the old fashioned building, but with delicious food The Gatehouse Cafe. Both are incredibly good value and provide a welcoming ambience.
Historically, my favourite would have been The Hopetoun Tearooms in the city of Melbourne. Throughput the years I have been there with Mum, James, and Susanna. It eas very beautiful old fashioned elegant and genteel. Susanna and I loved it. If it still existed in its old format, I would love to take someone like Sandi Toksvig there, her being a women’s history buff and past host of The Great British Bake Off. I think she would’ve loved the ambience and grace of the Tearooms and would regale me with funny anecdotes. Oh well, that is not to be. It is wonderful to have memories of the Tearooms and know that Susanna is running such a place in heaven.
