| - After numerous attempts to find a place to go to open at 11 for lunch (Lalibela, Bacchanal, etc), we headed to Downtown for Paisley Violin. This place is not located in a cookie cutter neighborhood, but this place is worth a visit!
We service was a little slow, even though we were the only ones in here, but the food most definitely made up for it. We had the Mediterranean platter and the cheese plate. Take note My Florist Cafe, this is how you do a cheese plate...
The Mediterranean platter was overflowing with hummus, tzatziki, baba ganoush, olives, dolmas, etc. I love, love, love dolmas! And these were amazingly fresh and I was pissed that my guy all the sudden decided to like them. The hummus was spicy and had some chickpeas that weren't completely blended, which added a nice consistency. Everything else of that cutting board was delicious, and I love their little panini pressed pitas!
The cheese plate was also delicious, serving a cranberry stilton, brie, feta, and a semi-hard cheese I couldn't identify. We wanted to stay and have a sandwich, but we were already full from the two appetizers. So my guy opted for a Kiltlifter while I had their pumpkin cake. I wish it wouldn't have come straight out of the fridge, but it was delicious. The cream cheese frosting and the dense pumpkin cake was a sweet way to end our lunch.
I wish I wasn't leaving AZ in a month, because I would make myself a regular here.
