We visited Brenda’s on the Causeway for breakfast this morning.  It is a casual, no frills family-owned restaurant popular with the locals.  The specials for the day were handwritten on notebook paper and presented to me in a ziplock bag.  I love it!  I ordered the special omelette with feta cheese and spinach and it was delicious!  There were huge chunks of feta cheese interspersed among tasty spinach and onions.  The crispy, buttery home fries weren’t bad either.  Sean got the french toast meal and it magically disappeared before my eyes.  As you can see, I didn’t have a moment to take a picture of it.  Not one crumb left on his plate.   Our waitress, Rose, came to check on us and she looked at Sean’s plate and said,  ”Well, I guess I don’t need to ask if everything was ok.”  We’ll be back for lunch and dessert.  They make pies everyday!  Oh boy!

We love finding local spots that are affordable, yummy and friendly.  We enjoy supporting our locals because we are locals.  Come and visit us in Dunedin and we’ll take you to Brenda’s.
