When we stay at the Boardwalk Plaza, one of our treats is breakfast at Victoria's on the lobby level, right on the boardwalk. Victoria's breakfast is reasonably priced, and it's just plain fun eating a fancy breakfast on the boardwalk. Here are some of our breakfast favorites:
- Raspberry Swirl French Toast (just as good as it sounds)
- Cappuccino Crepe (cinnamon flavor crepe with espresso-flavored cream cheese filling and raspberry sauce)
- Veggie Omelet (as well as every other kind of omelet you can imagine).
For Dinner, the traditional Rehoboth eatery is Grotto Pizza. It's been in Rehoboth longer than I've gone there (which is very long indeed). Locations on Rehoboth Avenue (the larger restaurant and site of the original take-out pizza stand) and the location on the boardwalk (opened in 1963).
The pizza itself is great, certainly better than the chains. But I go for the Philly style cheese steak sandwiches.
Of course, you don't have to go to Rehoboth for Grotto Pizza anymore. There are something like 20 locations throughout Delaware, and now even in Pennsylvania.
But the Grotto Pizza on the boardwalk, with just a tinge of salt and sand, is still the best.
Grotto Pizza helped me get a consulting contract one time, by the way. I found that a potential client had grown up in Delaware, and that he used to go to Rehoboth with his family. So I purchased a Grotto Pizza sand pail and shovel, packed my proposal into the bucket, and sent it off. Surprise! I got the contract!
