We went to Fratelli's, a quaint little restaurant in the leafy suburb of Greenside, which main street is lined with little treasures, such as this one.
The vibe is very relaxed, packed with trendy people, even during the day. The drinks prices was also very reasonable and we helped ourselves to caiparinhas, mojito's and gin and tonics.
I was very nervous at first, I even admitted it to Jenna, who blogs over at Home Away from Home. In fact, I was so nervous that I wanted to smoke a cigarette. And I despise smoking. Well, when it suits me anyway.
I was scared that we might not have a lot of things in common. Or that there would be a lot of awkward silences, but there weren't any and we chatted like old friends. So much so, that the waitress at the second restaurant, The Office, which was just a skip and a jump away from Fratelli's, asked what the occasion was for us coming to the restaurant.
Well, actually, we were on our way to our cars when the waitress came outside and invited us in. She was quite shocked when she realised this was the first time Jenna and I had met. She was in total disbelief and asked if I was telling the truth. We just laughed.
We were surprised in turn, when the bill came after we drank our two fishbowls (the blue drink in the picture at the top). It was buy one, get one free! Score! And the waitress was super sweet, full of compliments and such a nice person. I would definitely go back to this 'hip' spot. But maybe again during the day. At night, this place is packed to the rafters! But still a lot of fun.
Everything turned out so good that we are going over to their place this weekend for a little braai. And for the boys to meet each other.

wow! this is awesome :) I love when cool people meet. I want a blog friend too!
Yay :) I love this post - although I look complete wasted in that picture - this is the first time I've seen it so big!
The Office was awesome and are waitress was super adorable :) - would totally go back for 1/2 price drinks with gummy worms in them again! But you're so right that the place is complete packed at night - we were back there a few hours later and there was no way we would have ventured inside!
Can't wait for Saturday!

So cool! Looks like an awesome time! :)
how great to find a friend through blogging! And I love the Amelie soundtrack. I actually watched that movie for the first time when I was in France. It made it more magical for me :)
