Today, we went up the hill to Finca Lerida for breakfast and coffee. I always enjoy grabbing my fleece and heading a couple of thousand feet up the Volcano.
We went to the restaurant for breakfast, enjoying the humming birds and flowers sitting outside watching the clouds circle the mountains.
It is absolutely beautiful up there, they do a great job with all the bedding plants and I always enjoy their local produce. They make their own liquados/chichas with local fruits, they serve their own jams and they use their own herbs in the dishes. They also make great lemon grass tea from rows of lemon grass clumps lining the driveway.
Today we enjoyed rhubarb jam and it was excellent, my rhubarb is OK but theirs is much better, same with the strawberries and sad to say the roses (which decorated the tables), but I am working on that. The food is always good, today it was excellent - I think there are a couple of chefs there. Who-ever you are in the kitchen today, you are the best of them all.
Then, we walked down from the main restaurant to the new coffee shop. The new coffee shop has an upstairs sitting room over looking an antique roasting machine. You can sit on a comfy sofa and enjoy your Finca Lerida coffee in cosy surroundings. Life is good!
