I did “simmer on the bay”….it was damn hot!
October 30, 2007
It happened like this…..sightseeing at noon on a 32 degree day, thought I would do the circular quay to darling harbor walk. Hmm… starting to get a little rumbly in the tumbly but all these fancy circular quay restaurants don’t open till dinner…Hmmm what’s that?
A liiittle closer..
Yum!!
There were tons of people stopping by for their lunch break. There was only outdoor seating and you have to order from the window. I was a bit hesitant because of the 32 degrees thing, but I decided to try it out anyway. I ordered a quesadilla. What I got was very far from any quesadilla I was used to but sooooo tasty. Gruyere cheese with red capsicum (red pepper), caramelized onions, with a little arugula and balsamic vinaigrette. Sounds simple but it was memorable. Turns out I stumbled upon Simmer on the Bay (http://www.simmeronthebay.com.au/cafe.html). It was a quesadilla good enough that I forgot about the blazing heat and enjoyed my book and cappuccino for an hour in their outdoor seating. A place to go back to.
