| - What a great experience!
We were trying to figure out what the options were for Taste of Brampton and Queen Gypsy's looked like the best deal - one appetizer or small salad, one main and dessert for 20.00. We called about 20 minutes before heading there and the woman that answered was super helpful answering questions about vegetarian options and she reserved her last empty table of two for us.
They were easy to find right near Brampton city hall but the parking can be a bit tricky on a busy Friday night. The restaurant is small but really cute inside. Gypsy chic we will call it!
The menu has a nice array of options (mostly meat driven but that's to be expected) and it's not too big which I actually like because in most circumstances that means they do what they do well. For my appetizer I got the roasted red peppers, main - eggplant and zucchini panini, dessert - blueberry perogies. The roasted red peppers were amazing! I have never had something like that before. They are skinned, seasoned and in oil and vinegar, they were perfectly tender, I need to do this at home. The sandwich was super delicious - I got it without cheese (which would probably make it even more amazing lol). The bread was super crunchy and the veggies were perfectly cooked inside. The panini came with beets and slaw both were really good. The dessert Omg, I would say maybe it was so good because it was cheating on the no dairy (btw I am failing at least once a week at this lol) but these were spectacular!!! They were kind of chewy (in a good way) not overly sweet, the sweet came from the custard they sat in.
My boyfriend got the Bruschetta which was done with roasted peppers as well and feta, the bread looked great and super crunchy. He confirmed that it was delicious and I could tell by how quick they went! For his main the gypsy stew which came with rice, corn bread, slaw and beets. He ate the whole thing and confirmed it was great, he also got the blueberry perogies and feels the same as me!
This experience reminded me of what it would be like to go to a Serbian friends house and having an amazing home cooked meal. Seriously that sounds awesome? Highly recommend.
