Destination? Delaware Beaches, Lewes, Black Friday, Cafe Azafran, Lunch, Restaurant, Review, Mediterranean Cuisine
So far so good…the weather has been amazing. Lewes, Delaware looked beautiful on Thanksgiving Day as I drove around this quaint town. It was quiet; the end of the day. A drive through Pilottown Rd. took me towards the Lewes Boat Ramp.
Then, back to town, the views were, really, so gorgeous. Crisp colors; the marshes giving this part of town a serenity, which was perfect on Thanksgiving Day.

Black Friday….some of us say, we have not seen this many people at the Delaware Beaches in years. Don’t know if it was the forecast or, people just wanting to get out of town.
I love Agave. Located at 137 2nd St. in Downtown Lewes, it is a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar. Tel. 302-645-1232. That it is popular, is an understatement. No reservations; I am always complaining. The wait too long. Well, guess what? Today, I was doing what everyone else in Lewes had found out. Agave certificates were going to be sold today. Bring your “dinero” and double the dollar amount. So, I brought $200 and I got $400 worth. Yes!! That was my Black Friday deal. If I had known earlier, I would have told you. I only found out today, but I believe this is not the first year. Stay tuned for next year.
The certificates could be bought in increments of $10. I got mine all in 10’s. They cannot carry a balance. Dine in only. Not for carryout. Can use as many as necessary in one visit. Cannot be used for merchandise, or for happy hour specials. Could not be used on Black Friday. And, last, but not least, cannot be used for gratuity.
I waited for about 1 1/2 hours….worth the wait. Now I will have to see when will I be able to get into Agave. Don’t worry, a post will, definitely, follow.
My sister in law was patiently waiting for me, shopping around Lewes. We decided to have lunch at Cafe Azafran. My Agave certificates were safely in my bag. Cafe Azafran has been in Lewes for many years. It is a Mediterranean Cafe located at 109 Market St. Tel. 302-644-4446. Another location has been in Downtown Rehoboth Beach for a few years.

It is casual. Seating available inside or at the side porch. Today it was the perfect day. The heaters were hardly needed.
An order of their vegetable soup, accompanied with bread. Great consistency, not salty; light.
An order of the Mediterranean Platter – Serrano ham, roasted peppers, romesco, olive tapenade, artichoke hearts, Manchego & goat cheese with warm baguette. Gorgeous colors were so welcomed. Delicious.
The Special Panini was ordered – Ham, asparagus, melted brie, onions, accompanied with pasta salad. The brie and ham, always a very nice combination.
That’s all for… Black Friday!! Have a good one!
