    Soupe Lounge

    Posted by southboroughelaine 20 February 2009

    A great concept: fast soup!

    Join the queue and choose from four soups of the day and ask for all the trimmings (cheese, chicken meatballs, herbs) and you get two rolls and an apple on your tray too.

    Pull up a stool and warm yourself up - it's cheap too, despite the weak exchange rate.

    Chambres d'Ami(e)s

    Posted by southboroughelaine 20 February 2009

    A most charming bed and breakfast on a quiet street away from the town centre, but near an efficient bus line. For nine years, the owners have been perfecting the art of discrete care with attention to detail being their USP. The house (over 100 years old) is fascinating and the rooms decorated with antiques, bric a brac and souveniers. Breakfast is on a long table with an open kitchen, providing good coffee, breads, cheeses, meats and fruit salad. The crockery and cutlery are part of an extensive collection of Victoriana, so you can dream of a golden age as you sip your morning caffeine. The owners also provide hints and tips on what to see and do and where to eat. They also speak good English, being regular visitors to the UK, to buy the antiques!

    Fargas

    A cava bar that sells tiny buffet snacks that are delicious. Just get a plate and pile it up and go to the bar and order a glass of cava. Heavenly.

    John Paul Getty Museum

    Posted by southboroughelaine 10 September 2005

    Look at the paintings if you must, but the external beauty of the gardens and the building itself are perhaps more engaging. The smoggy views of the city over the cactus rooftop are awesome.

    On the outskirts somewhere
