Cafe Medina

I had lunch at Cafe Medina about 3 weeks ago with two friends. Cafe Medina is owned and operated by a couple, Nico and Karri Schuermans who also owns and operates Chambar restaurant and The Dirty Apron Cooking School on Beatty Street. It was a farewell brunch for my friend's friend, Daphne. As usual, the restaurant was busy even on a Wednesday afternoon. We were taken to the back room (a pleasant surprise because I didn't know a room existed). Last time I dined here, I sat in the front room. The restaurant was noisy with chatter but I had no problem listening to my friends and vice versa (I tend to get loud during meals). We sat in a room with big windows that allowed natural light to enter and the room had a casual, comfortable atmosphere. I now prefer to dine in the back room. I ordered the Fricasse ($16.00),  a lavender latte  and waffle with milk chocolate ($4.15) for desert. My girlfriend had the Paella ($12.00), and a lavender latte. Our other friend had two waffles with dark chocolate. Our food was delicious!  I would return just for the lavender latte and waffles. Cafe Medina was a pleasant place to dine with friends. Unfortunately, I didn't get to take pictures of our food and I will have to make sure to return sooner than later with my camera (a sacrifice I don't mind one bit).
