Thanks
to a friend, I decided to come on out to the 650 Café and Bistro to try some
delicious Mediterranean cuisine.
First
of all, what astonished me is that for the price you get at a McDonald’s,
Harvey’s or a food court meal, you could get a five-star restaurant quality
meal for the same price in this café.
It was so economically reasonable that I ordered a satisfying main and a
couple of classic Greek delicacies which awoke my senses and treated my tastes
to a new and exotic culinary adventure.
First
off I ordered the Lemon and Thyme Chicken dish. The chicken was well marinated with a mix of
olive oil, thyme, lemon juice and lemon zest, and it was well braised to lock
in its juices and intact flavour. It
was well paired with a serving of fresh rapini and roasted potatoes. At only $8, food courts and fast food places
should take note that you can serve quality food at prices that people can
afford.
I
also tried two Greek delicacies along with servings of free coffee. First was the savoury spanakopita which was
crispy, flavourful, and light in texture.
The other delicacy, which is called bougatsa, is vanilla-honey custard
wrapped in phyllo pastry, baked and dusted with icing sugar and cocoa. It was a nice sweet finish to the meal and
for both $3 and $3.50 respectively; you can easily add it on to your meal without
breaking the bank.
Restaurants
need to marry quality food with affordable prices so people can find other
healthy options versus the unhealthy fast food options that are prevalent
today. Cafés such as the 650 Café and
Bistro show effectively that quality and flavour can be enjoyed without
spending $20-$50 per plate on a meal.
This restaurant warrants repeated visits and I will definitely come
again to check out the great offerings that this café has in store.
