  • Looks can often be misleading. I would often walk past Cafe Stella, see through the dark windows and think how uninviting it looked. To me, it seemed like a divey bar, unsure at how the food tasted or if it was comfortable for me to hang out. My opinion changed when I came here to see my friend's art show. He counts this place as his local and after coming here a few times, I can see why he likes it. Café Stella may not look like a top restaurant with the most up-to-date décor but it has the potential to be. It definitely falls under the category of gemstone in the rough because it has great points to back up my statement: it has a relaxed and casual atmosphere; the food is very good; and you'll probably get the best customer service in the city. The café's owner, Ronti (unsure of the spelling) is a people-person and will offer the best service he can give you. Like many small restaurants, he's the lone chef and has a person helping him out in the evenings. Otherwise, it's just him, his restaurant and the eagerness to serve you his delicious food. If I had to pin-point the food to an ethnicity, I'd say it's Middle Eastern-inspired. There are a lot of vegetarian dishes with fresh vegetables and legumes like a chickpea salad that has loads of cucumbers, carrots, and garlic. He also makes a curried lentils and onions dish served with warm pita bread. There are also meat dishes though I can't remember how he prepared them. But really, that doesn't matter: it's all delicious. I will warn you that if you're there for an event, the food will disappear as soon as the platter touches the table, so skedaddle and fill up your plate. Since my introduction, I've been back here a few times and it has grown on me. It's a casual place to grab a meal or to enjoy a beer with friends instead of your typical pub. Thanks to the locals who love Café Stella and to Ronti who is open to ideas, a lot of fun events have been organized. They've hosted photo exhibits; trivia nights (one of them was a music trivia where my team kicked ass and won first prize - booya!!); dj nights; and dance party nights. All of these were fun and I've invited friends to each of them, in turn spreading the love for one of my new favourite locals.
