“I never met a falafel I didn’t like. ”
With time, my dear friends, you will learn that I love to eat. Greek, Chinese, Thai… you name it, I can suggest the restaurant. And as luck would have it I happily sell real estate in the city of Davis, CA where there are good meals a-plenty.
Want to go Greek? Try the quite Café Méditerranée on D street between first and second. This culinary alcove is a bit tucked away so it is easy to overlook. But, every time I go I wonder why I don’t make it there more often.
Pick your own seating and choose from several rooms. Select dim and cozy for the romantics, the sunlit backroom ideal for a tasty student study session, or keep seated up front for a child friendly experience (my own love the busy street view).
And the menu? With complete dinners, a varied assortment of side dishes, and both vegetarian and meat dishes, and a small but select wine list, Café Méditerranée has something to offer most appetites. Sides dishes include muhumara (a mix of pomegranate and walnut), hummus (ground chickpeas), a smokey eggplant-based appetizer called babaganoush, a fresh taboule salad, and with a side of tzatziki (yogurt cucumber dip). Traditional Greek meat dishes are displayed on a revolving rotisserie towards the front and include, kebobs, shawermas and falfel. Whether you are looking for a complete meal or just need a quick snack you won’t go wrong.
My favorite here? Can you say, “Layered Raspberry Lemon Cake”? One generous sized slice is enough to share if you must– but it is worth the effort to go at it solo.
