you can't go through Mot and not stop at Toad Hall! nicest ever fresh, seasonal local fruit ice creams, fantastic juice bar, consistently good food, great selection of local wines and beers. their cabinet food is the best in the region in terms of value and taste. the brioche for $5 is one of the best in the world and their twice cooked pork belly makes me salivate just when i think about it... need i say anymore!?!?!
