A Scot renovated cafe (5)
I believe the answer is:
costa
'cafe' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'a scot renovated' is the wordplay.
'renovated' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'scot'='ascot'
'ascot' is an anagram of 'COSTA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for costa that I've seen before include "resort abroad" , "A Spanish coast, may be Del Sol" , "___ Brava, Spanish resort area" , "place for cheap holiday" , "A Spanish coastal region, perhaps del Sol" .)
