Veranda at the Empress

[shelora]

Once again the Empress Hotel has opened their veranda overlooking the inner harbour. In the safety of the stone fortress you can catch some major rays and watch the sunset while sipping 3 oz. $11.00 martinis.

Last night we watched the tall ships come into the harbour without having to fight for a view with the hoards on the sidewalk.

Small plates menu, hotel prices, comes up with some tasty snacks focussing on island ingredients.

It's my new summer hideaway.

It's not a hideaway if you tell us all where it is.

"Where's Shelora?"

"Hiding on the Deck at the Empress?"

"She sucks at hiding."

Three ounces for eleven bucks and a killer view is a hell of a deal though.

I love those little tea sandwiches they serve....bread, butter, cream cheese, shredded carrots, dash of ginger.

Yum.

Yes, Mr. Smartie-pants.

This spot is glorious because no locals ever go there, unless I'm taking them with me. It's like going on a mini-holiday watching the waddling tourists.

Those are my favourite things on the tea tray too!

[Memo]

Those tea sandwiches - along with the Afternoon Tea service - are only available inside the hotel.

The Veranda serves strictly cocktails and small plates - accompanied by the amazing inner-harbour view!
