There’s nothing better than quality time with good friends, which is what three of my besties and I were thinking the other day! A couple of Saturdays ago we all jumped into my red rocket and headed out to the peninsula, in search of some extreme pampering...

Our first stop was PN Nails for (accessible) pedicures! Yay! I’ll talk about this later in this post.

But the highlight of our afternoon was the decadence of the Farmer’s Daughter Fromagerie, Bistro and Wine Bar!

In the meantime, consider ordering from one of the three cheese and wine flights. Flights consist of cheeses paired with 3 two ounce wines, accompanied by fresh baguette: crisp and satisfying, while not overly filling.

Accessibility:

The restaurant is on the ground level, and tables are well spaced from each other in a Covid-friendly manner. Sitting outside is particularly lovely in the warmer months, and there are tables and chairs arranged in the side courtyard, amongst cascading hanging baskets and beautiful planters. Staff were more than willing to shift furniture and planters around to accommodate my scooter.  Unfortunately the single bathroom in the restaurant is small and not accessible for a mobility scooter or a wheelchair user, due to the width of the charming barrel sink, but it has a level entrance and would likely work for a person using a cane. The best idea is to use the accessible public bathroom towards the end of the courtyard towards PN Nails (key required). I park in the accessible parking lot behind Home Hardware (access off James White Blvd, which is north of and runs parallel to Beacon Ave), and zoom through their outdoor section to Garden Court where Farmer’s Daughter and PN Nails is located.

From there, after a quick stop at the public bathroom across the courtyard (accessible and very clean, key from PN Nails), we wandered a few shops up to our next stop: The Farmer’s Daughter!
