I was in the mood for some background music, so convinced Sarah to meet me at Cafe Django. The weather was just nice enough, so we sat on the back deck. We found out later that there was a $5 cover charge to see the band, but no cover charge to hear them out on the patio. Yes!
While waiting for Sarah, I ordered a carafe of sangria. I haven't had good sangria since I was in Barcelona couple years ago, and I lived on it there :) I was really excited to see the variety of fruit floating inside -- apple chunks, strawberries, and blueberries sitting at the bottom. There was probably more, but I was too delighted with the taste to drink it slowly :)
We had no idea what to order, so asked for an appetizer. The waitress suggested Momos, so we had the Beef Momos. Looking through the menu, I noticed the entire menu is labelled to let you know which items are/can be vegan. Sarah and I both like meat, but this would be important to others...
Sarah settled on the Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian stir fry with beef, tomatoes, and onions over rice. There were papas fritas (aka french fries) on the side. I had the House Curry with Lamb. Sarah's was ok, but the beef was really chewy. Mine was wonderful! Just a touch spicy (as I'd ordered it), so we had to order another carafe of sangria. Sigh. ;)
The live jazz started up inside. We decided to prolong our meal with tiramisu. It was tasty, creamy, but did not have that strong bite of a real tiramisu.
Sitting outdoors on a beautiful evening, listening to live jazz, having a wonderful meal with a great friend -- what could be better?
