Merimbula. I thought it was God's waiting room. And to a certain extent, it is. One of the most amazing meals we had was at Rockpool... not the shi shi pooh pooh Sydnet one... Rockpool cafe, at the Merimbula Bowls Club! As in white hats, gentle clapping and Volvos kinda bowls club. In town, we were stunned by Cantina, at the top of Market Street, (02 6945 1085, 56 Market Street, Merimbula). We went there for breakfast on several occasions. Their Flamenco eggs (above) were a generous ramekin filled with eggs, chorizo, capsicum, local bacon and cheese, served with door-stop pieces of whole grain bread.
Free range poached eggs, organic spinach and tommies on whole meal.
My fave. Local Eden sardines, pesto-crumbed, served on whole meal toast with tomato/capsicum/bacon salsa.
And Furry's fave, the big breakfast. Home cooked baked beans. These were slow cooked with a ham hock, and light years away from anything you can get in cans.
The big breakky also came with the most amazing locally smoked bacon, marinated mushies, a bush pepper and tomato sausage, a pork breakky sausage, and a potato roesti.Seriously fantastic local food, served fabulously well, with great friendly staff, excellent Byron Bay coffee.
Without doubt, the best breakky of the tour.
Stand by for the Bad and the Ugly.

I must admit that when i read "god's waiting room" I thought "Merimbula: dull waiting room before expiry" but then i saw that delicious food and understand. Very very tasty by the look of it!
Out here in the UK it's Eastbourne on the Sussex coast that is called the Costa Geriatrica! It used to be Eastbourne, Worthing and Hove, but when house prices went up younger people moved in...and aged fast...!!!
