Bon Appetit
Today Julie and I had lunch at Bon Appetit Cafe & Deli (and part-time hookah bar!), downtown on the corner of Fourth and Liberty streets. It’s a pretty typical downtown fast-food place, and the atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but it does offer a nice selection of vegetarian fare, particularly Mediterranean items.
For $7.99, you can get a vegetarian plate with hummus, falafel, tabouli, baba ghanouj, a small bowl of spicy chutney and a big basket of pita bread. The falafel were particularly tasty, actually some of the best I’ve had, and the tabouli was colorful and filled with parsley. The food isn’t quite up to the standards of the exceptional Jack’s Corner Mediterranean Deli in Greensboro, but it definitely would satisfy me when I get a craving for it.
You can also get any of the items a la carte, as well as spanakopita, grape leaves, foul mudamos (a dish with fava beans) and musbahha (a dip with whole chick peas). There are also more typical fast-food fare, such as a vegetarian calzone or stromboli, a veggie sub, an eggplant parmesan sub and pizza.
