As a mom out with my kids, I sometimes find myself looking for restaurants or cafes with alfresco dining option, so that at least my kids can be a little more rowdy. In an enclosed restaurant, I usually have to keep reminding them to keep their volumes down, and kids being kids, that's a tough order.
I've passed by the Charlie Brown cafe at 313 Somerset several times, but I dined there for the first time yesterday. It was just a tea break for hubby and I, but I saw that the menu offered quite a good selection of salads, sandwiches, some mains and plenty of desserts. It should be a nice place for a family to chill out at and have some small bites.
It's hard not to like the cafe - it's got the iconic Snoopy, Charlie Brown and all the Peanuts characters splashed everywhere. Plus, a TV screens Snoopy cartoons on loop at one corner. There is also a little area that sells some Snoopy merchandise such as phone covers, mugs etc, if you are interested.
Iced Earl Grey ($4.50)
Crepe with chocolate filling & a scoop of chocolate ice-cream. ($9.80) Don't you just LOVE the Snoopy face there?
Turkey ham sandwich with french fries ($13.80)
Because it's alfresco, it might get a little warm during the day, but at night, it should be a nice place to hang out for families because both the menu and the environment are pretty kid-friendly. :)
