Nelson the Seagull is a recently established bakery/cafe that is keeping it’s doors open – special occasion – for a long table dinner with The Social Feed. Recently opened in May, three South Africans set out to “make a space where every meal feels like a lazy summer day spent with friends”. Grab your vuvuzela , score one for South Africa. Their menu, with simple and gratifying offerings from local organic fare, will be sure to instill their romantic vision of how it should be done – nothing instant, no anonymous frozen ingredients and nothing wrapped in suffocating plastic. During the day, brunch items shine: one spoonful of the South African Maltabella porridge and you’ll wonder what you were thinking buying those Quakers dust packets. Nelson and the Seagull has a lot of things going for it. It has an amazing space, gracious owners and spot on food. Throw into the mix that it’s named after a half-catchy tuneand we are sold on it becoming a Gastown staple.
