A long time ago, my best friend & I chose to eat at Vasco da Gama on a whim, but kept coming back for the elegant decor, the simplicity & quality of the menu, & the general classy ambiance. The place is very attractive, narrow but long, with its high arches & scheme of Mediterranean colors. Take note: it's always crowded in here, with lots of fancy people... We even saw Helene Bourgeois-Leclerc once! The food is exposed in a counter in the back; they have a good selection of sandwiches, salads, some burgers, plus desserts, muffins, croissants & cookies. I personally like the gluten-free chocolate one: rich, a little bit crunchy, but still melts in your mouth. As to the food, I definitely recommend you get the trio of salads! 10,75$, always fresh & usually creative, comes with two little pieces of toasted bread = happy belly & guilt-free conscience. As a side note: they make a rather good latte.
