点评:Dix- Neuf is a wonderful cafe just 50 yards off High Street in St. Peter Port, Guernsey. Having come over on the ferry from St. Malo on an early morning in June and just
visited the incredible Victor Hugo House, we needed a nice place to eat. We were most fortunate to to find Dix-Neuf. It looked inviting so we gave it a try. Guernsey food we did not know but they had other western food as well. However, the Guernsey food was very good since it seemed to be a combination of French and British. Our server and the manager were both good about seeing that our was food and service were meeting our expectations.
We set off to explore the streets and shops of Guernsey, but again need an afternoon snack. We had so enjoyed Dix-Neuf for luch, we back for coffee/ tea/ hot chocolate and desserts. The creme brulee was excellent but the apple crumble we also got was just exceptional.
Our table allowed us to watch the gentle and civilized people of Guernsey walk slowly by. These people have managed to still find a way to slow down and live life in full measure. I managed to strike up a conversation with two lively ladies sitting at a table beside us. Since I had just watched the movie "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society " , I asked them if they had seen this. No they had not, but they had lived it. You see, Marion and Margaret were 86 and 90 years old. What incredible tales they told me that afternoon about the occupation of Guernsey during World War II.
A blue sky and good fortune rained down on me that day. Thank you.
翻译:Dix-Neuf 是一家很棒的咖啡馆,距离根西岛圣彼得港高街仅 50 码。六月的一个清晨,我们从圣马洛乘渡轮过来,刚刚参观了令人惊叹的维克多·雨果故居,我们需要找个好地方吃饭。我们很幸运地找到了 Dix-Neuf。它看起来很诱人,所以我们尝试了一下。我们不太了解根西岛的美食,但他们也提供其他西餐。不过,根西岛的菜品非常不错,似乎是法式和英式的结合。我们的服务员和经理都很细心,确保我们的食物和服务符合我们的预期。
我们出发去探索根西岛的街道和商店,但又需要吃点下午茶。我们非常喜欢 Dix-Neuf 的午餐,所以又回来喝咖啡/茶/热巧克力和甜点。焦糖布丁很棒,但我们点的苹果酥更是令人惊艳。
我们的餐桌让我们得以欣赏到格恩西岛温文尔雅、文明礼貌的人们缓缓走过。这些人依然设法放慢脚步,尽情享受生活。我设法与坐在我们隔壁桌的两位活泼的女士攀谈起来。因为我刚看完电影《格恩西岛文学与土豆皮馅饼社》,所以我问她们是否看过这部电影。她们没有,但她们亲身经历过。要知道,玛丽安和玛格丽特分别86岁和90岁了。那天下午,她们给我讲了关于二战期间格恩西岛被占领的那些令人难以置信的故事。
那天,天空湛蓝,好运如雨点般降临到我身上。谢谢你们。
