North Garden has long been on my favourite street in Centro-the street that leads to North Beach and perhaps that is one of the many reasons for their success. As you walk by, you can smell bacon being cooked to crispy, just the way I like it. That aroma sticks in your head but you are determined to get a prime spot on the beach (under a palm tree for shade) so you decide to visit on another day.

Well, that day had come! I was meeting a dear Isla friend, and we had a lot to get caught up on. We eventually got down to ordering and our breakfasts came before we knew it.

My friend is a careful eater. That is why he can play an 1 ½ of tennis and then another 1 ½ of pickle ball. His egg white omelet was piping hot and stuffed with sauteed zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, peppers and tomato. It was the goat cheese that put the omelet over the top.

On the other hand, I do not play 3 hours of court sports, but I do try to get out for a good long walk every day. Sometimes my destination is a restaurant so I don’t think that counts as exercise, does it? My choice of the Hotcakes Trio even sounds decadent, doesn’t it?

The Hotcakes Trio was my way of eating healthy protein with a little treat on the side. I chose over easy eggs that were cooked perfectly along with ham and potatoes. On top of those choices, I was able to pick from a selection of pancakes styles and Cinamon Roll sounded too good to be true!

It was a satisfying breakfast and an equally satisfying catch up with my friend. Drop in on your way to the beach or for no reason at all. The warm and attentive staff, mentored by my friends Brenda and Fernando, are waiting for you. Now why didn’t I order the bacon? I have to go back.
