OUT & ABOUT
There is a lot to like about Lexi ’ s
By Greg Martin
I don ’ t know about Alice ’ s Restaurant , but at Harry Gill ’ s new Lexi ’ s Café and Bar in Bella Vista , you can get anything you want !
Anything of course which will be attractive to your taste buds !
Harry opened the enterprise at the end of June , and it has already proven to be a hit , not only with locals but the wider community .
And such was the café ’ s popularity in the opening six weeks , from July 13 Harry decided to extend opening hours so patrons could add a dinner selection to the breakfast and lunch menu .
The three extensive menus cater for all tastes – Harry wanted to ensure that no patron would leave his premises unsated !
And that starts from 7.30am with a breakfast to please all palates .
There ’ s an extensive range of omelets , and of course on the menu are everyone ’ s all-time favourites , eggs Benedict and a big breakfast . Coffee ? “ We experimented with a wide range of coffees and decided that Paradox Coffee would be our selection – and that has certainly proved to be the right decision because our customers just love it ,” Harry said .
So did I , as I had my caffeine dose during the interview with my host !
Harry said he was “ over-the-moon ” with the lunch and dinner menus which will cater for all tastes .
Meat and seafood platters , fish and chips , a wide range of sandwiches , nachos , steaks , crepes , stir fries , kid ’ s menu – the list goes on . And on !
Lexi ’ s stocks a wide range of quality wines and other beverages to suit all tastes .
They also offers outdoor dining and for those of you who are not keen on walking a mile back to the car on a fully satisfied stomach , there ’ s ample covered parking at the rear of the business .
While Harry was called away to organise a delivery , I approach three women who had just finishing their lunches , and asked if they enjoyed them .
“ I can ’ t fault the place – it is just perfect for food and drinks ,” one lady said .
Her dining companions then chipped int with “ great atmosphere , friendly staff and the coffee is to die for ” and “ the location is perfect and so too is the ambience ”. Aaah , proof in the pudding ! Lexi ’ s Café and Bar is situated at 127 / 14-16 Lexington Drive – it is open Monday-Friday 7.30am-10pm and 9am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday .
