Visiting the Deloraine pool and dining at a great restaurant

In the heart of Deloraine, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, lies a gem that promises a day of relaxation and fun—a quaint community pool. As you walk towards it, the sounds of laughter and splashing water greet you, a cheerful symphony that sets the tone for the day.

The water is crystal clear, reflecting the bright summer sky. Families lounge on colorful beach towels, children playfully chase each other, and the lifeguard, with a watchful eye, ensures everyone’s safety.

Upon finding a cozy spot to settle, you take a moment to appreciate the simplicity of it all. The pool, though modest in size, offers everything you need: a four lane junior Olympic lap section, leisure pool with beach entry and water umbrella, diving board and a twister waterslide.

After hours of swimming, playing, and lounging, your stomach begins to rumble, signaling that it’s time for lunch. You pack up your belongings, bid farewell to the new friends you’ve made, and head towards the nearby restaurant that locals have been raving about, The Rendezvous Restaurant.

Just a short drive from the pool, the restaurant stands as a beloved fixture of the town. Its exterior is inviting and once you step inside, you are greeted by the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals and the friendly smile of the host. The menu is a delightful mix of classic comfort foods and unique local specialties. When visiting, one must try the iconic “Fat Boy” burger. This towering behemoth of a sandwich is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. Packed with layers of flavor and texture, the Fat Boy burger is a testament to indulgence and culinary creativity. Each layer is carefully placed to ensure every bite is a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The toasted bun forms the base, followed by a generous amount of in-house chili, cheddar cheese, red & green lettuce, onions, pickles, mayonnaise, mustard and the star of the show the charbroiled patty. Available in either a single or double patty.

Or you may want to try one of signature sandwiches like the Philly Steak Sandwich. This sandwich features thinly sliced prime rib cooked to perfection, melted mozza cheese, sautéed peppers, and a gourmet onion ring piled into a long, soft ciabatta roll. The result is a savory, melty, and satisfying sandwich that’s a slight twist on the traditional  Philadelphia cheesesteak.

As you sip your coffee, you reflect on the day’s simple pleasures. The laughter and camaraderie at the pool, the delicious meal enjoyed in good company, and the overall sense of community that permeates this small town. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable experiences are found in the simplest of activities—a day spent enjoying the sun, the water, and the flavors of a great meal.
