On the rare occassion that my husband and I go on a date night, I always wrack my brain thinking about where I would like to go.  We recently had the pleasure of enjoying an evening together at the Friendly Stranger - and now I know where to return to when we are in the mood for a relaxed date enjoying tasty food and friendly service. 

The restaurant is small and cosy, which immediately makes you feel at home.  If the weather is good, grab one of the tables on the little deck and enjoy the sunset over the valley.  The decor is quirky, reflecting the creativity of the up-and-coming neighbourhood (also home to the monthly Valley Market).  The people from this valley clearly love what they do and it shows in their level of service and attention to detail. 

The Friendly Stranger is also a great place for a breakfast or light lunch with the family - children are welcome.
