Snowdon.
The opening of the new £8.35m cafe on the summit of Snowdon has been further delayed because of bad weather.
We're going to talk about it tonight but I wondered in the PM newsletter about other "high" cafes. No Amsterdam jokes, thank you so much.
Well, Patrick Barnes go in touch:
" I visited a few years back on the Tegelberg in Schwangau, Bavaria. Have a drink and watch the paragliders dive off the top of the mountain. Unforgettable. And let's not forget the Kehlsteinhaus in the Obersalzburg - built for Hitler's 50th birthday but now a 'tea house' and one of the most popular tourist destinations in southern Germany. Info ."
Stella Bucci writes:
"Across the tops of Italian mountains - the Alps, the Dolomites, the Appenini - there are rifugi, large and small chalets, some with sleeping accommodation, and many with superb cafeteria-style restaurants. There's nothing better on a grim morning, setting off on a trek through the mist, than the thought of a wonderful carbonara, superbly grilled pork chop, or excellent wild mushroom risotto, not waiting, but yet to be freshly prepared on the distance peak. Bliss!"
Come on Stella - send us a snap!
1350 UPDATE:
Helen Grayson adds: On Cape Point in South Africa there is a very nice restaurant. And in the same country, there is a cafe on Table Mountain.
In Italy, there is a bar on top of Mount Vesuvius; very welcome when you've slogged your way up through all that grit.
