As my meeting at Leva Cafe continued, I needed more coffee and a dessert. I ordered another Americano, and finally tried the tiramisu in a cup. The top layer was like a heavy whipped topping, with a rich, cream cheese underneath. The bottom layer, my favourite, was liquor-soaked cake. It was not heavy, but still rich. The coffee helped cut the sweetness. This is not something I would order every day, but is definitely another one of Leva's excellent desserts.

Just Desserts: Tiramisu at Leva Cafe
Breakfast for Lunch: Garneau Breakfast at Leva
I had an early afternoon meeting this past weekend at Leva Cafe and ordered brunch while I was waiting. I had the Garneau Breakfast, with two eggs over-easy, potato hash (very crispy, home made hash browns, and toast) with smoked salmon instead of the maple bacon. There was a surcharge for the latter, but I was brought a rather substantial plate of salmon, so it was worth it. Loved the portion size, the freshness of the ingredients, and the Americano I ordered with it too. A decadent Saturday treat.
Potato Crisps at Sherlock's
While waiting for my party to arrive at Sherlock's last week, I ordered some potato crisps to pass the time. The chips were freshly made, as the few softer ones indicated, warm, and mostly crispy. The applewood flavour was like a very smoky barbecue, while the poblano avocado dip added some tang to the taste. This is an inexpensive, shareable snack.
Vegging Out: Vegetarian Appetizer Sampler Platter at Naanolicious
There is a special at Naanolicious on Thursday evenings that vegetarians will definitely want to check out. The vegetarian appetizer platter, paired with a beer, for $14.95 is a huge portion on a large plate: one samosa, several veggie pakoras, a couple of aloo tikka patties, naan bread with a dipping sauce, and two chutneys. I managed to devour this flavourful feast myself, but if I was less hungry, I also certainly could have shared.
