Take the lead at breakfast on the weekend and sit your friends down at the Village Cafe. If you have had a rough a lousy Friday night with your toddler teething then get the waitress to grab you a Bloody Mary to jump-start the morning. We would suggest trying their Spanish chorizo sausage and scrambled eggs on thick toast or a stack of house pancakes with blueberry compote. As it fades to dusk you can truly see where the magic comes to life; what makes this cafe so special is that it also includes hot rock dining. For those of you who don’t know what this entails, it is an interactive personal cooking experience where volcanic stones are heated in extreme heat and used to cook your food right in front of your eyes.
