Weekend unwined 🍷⛱☀️ #winery #winelover

I first tried their 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙠𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙠𝙖 at Cafe Landwer's University Ave location a few years back. 🍳 This time, I tried the𝙁𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙧'𝙨 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙩. It was not only healthy but also delicious, with a portion so generous that I could only manage to finish half of the pita bread. 🥙

The 𝙏𝙪𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝘾𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚 was a charming touch, presented in a very cute copper pot, adding to the overall experience.

Moving on to my most recent visit, I savoured the 𝙎𝙖𝙗𝙗𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝘽𝙤𝙬𝙡, a medley of roasted eggplant and potatoes crowned with a poached egg, beautifully decorated with drizzles of tahini and olive oil. The seasoned pita sticks on the side were a nice touch. 🥗 The 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 my friend had also looked enticing.

Their plates have always been on the generous side. Even though I purposely went for "Small Plates" this time to avoid food waste, the quantity was still quite substantial.

However, it's worth noting that the service was slow. In both recent visits, they seemed to be short-staffed, and their waitresses always seemed to be exhausted. 🏃‍♀️

Despite this, the consistency in both quality and portion size earns them high marks across the board.

🍽️ 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 (quality, creativity, consistency) - 5/5
🍹 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 (quality, variety) - 4/5
✨ 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (interior design, cleanliness) - 4.5/5
🧂 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 3.5/5
💵 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 (quality vs. price) - 5/5 ($$)
