South Park Cafe

Lunch on friday with friends at South Park cafe, it was a beautiful sunny day, we decided to take an extra long break for lunch. South Park cafe is in South Park, a small park only 1 block long and 1/2 block wide but it is an oasis in this part of town.


the food ordering and payment take place at the front counter, the counter host will give out the ordered drinks, silverware and the number of the order for you to take back to your table. Food will be brought to your table shortly. it's very efficient and smoothly operated little cafe, sort of semi self-service. there was only 1 counter host who takes care of the ordering/drink/payment and the other person on the floor would bring the food to the tables and clean tables afterward - sort of a waiter/busboy combination.


i had the croque monsieur that came green salad and lentil. the salad here was special - there was some kind of wild baby spinach (green leaves with purplely veins) that was very tasty??? i also ordered fries and a glass of sancere. the sancere here is always excelent, not too dry with just a whisper of fruitiness... easily one of my favorite places for lunch.
