I ended up at Swan by chance because my favourite lunch spot that is practically next door (OK, it's actually next door) was pumped to the rafters. I immediately started sulking until my friend suggested we try Swan. Since I was starving and only had to take a few steps to the right, I agreed. My friend also insisted that this place was not only charming, but served up some ridiculously good food. I believe anything I hear, so I went with it. I plopped down in a seat and took in my new surroundings. I decided I would decorate my apartment in the same way. Nice wooden interior, some funky fresh bar stools, and a cosy vibe.
The menu is concise, which makes ordering a breeze. I decided on the arugula salad (loved the pear and goat cheese combo) and club house (cannot go wrong with chicken, avocado and pancetta). Not very adventurous I know, but at least I refrained from ordering the grilled cheese (which is actually the fancy kind, not the kind I make with Kraft singles). All the options on the lunch menu looked equally inviting and I was told that the dinner choices are also too legit to quit. Whatever that means. I need this to be proven, so I have no choice but to return to Swan sooner rather than later where it'll be hammer time!
