Simple Pleasures (5)

Today’s post is a bit of a mystery. This is one of our favourite courtyard patios (no, that’s wrong, it’s our favourite courtyard patio) in the world.

It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out where this might be. As indicated in my first simple pleasures post, the things I’m writing about are in our Ontario backyard and relate to the setting of my next book – the Ottawa to Kingston corridor. Bonus points for anyone who knows the exact restaurant.

Here’s where the four of us had lunch on just one of the beautiful, sunny, amazing days we’ve had this summer:

Clue number one: wood stacked along the brick wall for the wood-burning pizza oven.

Clue number two: The classic ________ fire escape.

Clue number three: Have you noticed all the limestone yet?

BIGGEST CLUE YET: What landmark is that, clearly visible in the top of the picture?

I’m thinking there’s probably one more post in this series and then I’ll get back to some more directly writing-related stuff. Although, I really do mean it, when that second book comes out, there is stuff you’ll recognized from these posts!

(I’ll wait a few days to see if I get a guess on this location – delicious food too! – and then reveal it so you can visit yourselves.)
