Festive Road....
Finally this week saw the opening of the famous Canary Cafe in Queen Street. The original Canary Cafe closed down about 20 years ago and has been sorely missed since then. I regularly get asked, "Where's The Canary? I've heard so much about it!" It was an institution in Bath and has now rightly been reinstated in a new guise. The walls have been covered in a creamy yellow and each large window is decorated with fresh yellow flowers. The old swing sign is moving once again in the wind and the smiling waitresses are handing out wholesome sandwiches and homemade cakes to the hungry customers. We started the day off right by indulging in two of their cupcakes (which were heavenly and baked on the premises, no food miles to worry about here!) and now is the mammoth task of resisting popping back for more sweet treats!
I am so pleased because Queen Street has become a proper little Festive Road (Mr Ben reference...showing my age..);
I present....
The Canary Cafe,
The Wild Cafe (hearty, locally sourced food cooked in front of you),
Rare and Vintage Guitars (what those boys don't know about real music and guitars, could be written on a guitar string!)
The Raven (lovely established old pub-great for pies!),
Haringtons Hotel (bijou and elegant town hotel)
No 12 (THE interiors destination for those in the know)
Bo Lee Gallery (edgy and interesting art. very cool)
Officina Tessile (Italian tailors who are "sew" good!)
oh, and a little boutique called Scarlet Vintage....
Perhaps its time to have a wander off the beaten track and explore Bath's historic side streets, they really make this amazing city what it is...xx
