Our 2011 favorite spot

Finally tried the new trendy french bistro which opened last year by the Spruce group...Cafe des Amis.  Hadn't heard too much prior to coming but our experience turned out to be very impressive!  The food had wonderful flavors and everything we ordered was outstanding!  Definitely a "go back"!


Grilled Sausage Paysanne - alsatian potato salad, whole grain mustard

Steak Tartare - egg yolk, shallots, capers, cornichon, dijon mustard, grilled levain


Moules Frites - steamed prince edward island mussels, fi nes herbs and garlic, 
with pommes frites


Escargots Bourgogne - classic snails with parsley-garlic butter



Grilled Whole Mediterranean Dorade - roasted fennel, peppers, oil-cured olives


Slowly Braised Lamb Shoulder - potato mousseline, cipollini onions, carrots


Liberty Duck Breast À L'Orange - confit turnips, braised greens



Hardwood Grilled Hanger Steak Frites - red wine butter, frites, watercress salad

Back to our usual favorite spot

Once again, our usual favorite spot in our hood...Delarosa.  Can always count on a great meal at a great environment, never a let down!


A usual favorite...Eggplant caponatina with burrata


Burrata bruschetta, hazelnut and honey - can never have too much burrata!


Brunch always = Mimosas


Tried something new this time...Chicken sausage, red grapes, our mustard - 
tasty but would not order again, too plain


Another usual favorite...Fritto misto di pesce - a mix of calamari, fish , shrimp, green beans
