September Surf’s Gazpacho Recipe
It’s sunny, it’s hot, and summer is (finally!) here.
Today, we’re sharing a quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for summer days. September Surf Café is known for many things, but their gazpacho holds a very special place in our hearts. So when the hot weather comes, we rush to Notre-Dame West to refresh ourselves with this delicious soup of Andalusian origin. However, from now on, you don’t have to go anywhere; September Surf Café is in your kitchen!

This lovely spot serves up some of the best coffee in town with a snack-box style menu of fresh and indulgent dishes such as avocado toast, a fresh salmon bowl, a delicious breakfast sandwich and—of course—their exceptional gazpacho.
