While I was in California this past (long) weekend visiting my Dad's side of the family, we took an early morning stroll on the beach and went to this old family favorite. I haven't been there since I was a kid and would only eat what was familiar to me. This time, however, was a completely different experience. I went for the most unique sounding thing on the menu which, I was informed, was also a meal they were "famous" for: the oatcakes.
These are basically oat pancakes with a dense texture that isn't too heavy once you eat it, but very delicious and less doughy than pancakes. I asked for the recipe or at least some insight into how to make them but I guess I will just have to search the internet for some clues or experiment in my test kitchen. If you ever find yourself here though, definitely try them.
The Curbside Cafe (my grandfather's favorite restaurant) came in a close second for their cappuccino and fresh biscuits with herb gravy.
