Cafe Gitane exterior / interior. Love the colourful lino floor! Wonder if that's original...Beautiful food too, with a vaguely French/Moroccan-inspired menu. Cafe Gitane understand that a sandwich doesn't necessarily taste better the more you put in it (unlike Manhattan institution Katz's Deli - which I chickened out on today after seeing the meat:bread ratio of their sandwiches. It was a little scary.) Anyway, Cafe Gitane served me the most truly delicious toasted baguette with prosciutto. So simple and so utterly perfect.
Oh and it's very reasonably priced also. I think we're going back tomorrow ;)
Iced mint tea with sugar syrup on the side, baguette with prosciutto, fresh fruit salad - and Gord had baked eggs with a coffee , served with a tiny belgian chocolate on the side.
I can recomend Cafe Wha - great nite's entertainment. Been three times and have never known how I got home!
