Cafe Eklektika

Description:

• When a beloved restaurant moves from one location to another, but along the way changes from a funky, zany, but comfortable interior to one of a more traditional style, you have to wonder if the romance is over. Well, for this restaurant, it did not happen; the loyal diners followed, accepted the new do, and got over it, because the food is as good as ever. With tables and booths, no longer sofas and overstuffed chairs, the mellow mood is still created by the soothing vocals with a cabaret feel serenading in the background, the monthly changing artwork on the walls, and the dependably excellent service. We return for the chicken breaded in hazelnuts with the almond potato balls and wine steamed pears. Sometimes we are seduced by the rosé duck breast with mashed potatoes and cinnamon plum ragout. Besides the menu offerings, there are weekly specials on a blackboard. Outside seating is available in good weather, but inside you will be treated to free unlimited Wi-Fi, for the price of a coffee. No one will rush you out; this is a place to call home away from home.
