Saturday afternoons are my me-time. Reading a book, taking a nap, getting a massage, or catching up with friends. I had a great time today with my friend R. the trust and openness we have towards each other makes our conversations truly enjoyable. There's confidence that what's been shared between us remained between us.
Since I could not say anything about what we talked about, I'm wiring about the cafe instead.
The Elbow Room is a delightful little place along Pasteur St. I liked the ambience, it was quiet and relaxing (except for when a young Japanese boy who threw a tantrum and started screaming and kicking). The deco was simple but charming. The service was almost flawless, the servers were attentive but not intrusive.
From what I had, I'd day say the food is nothing to rave about. Not bad but nothing very noteworthy either. I chose the Elbow Room smoothie, it was not smooth at all, it had loads of icicles; the coffee was good and the vanilla syrup made it taste a bit more special; R swears by the spicy shrimp pasta though.
To be fair, I havent tasted must of the food in the menu. I plan to come back with the kids for brunch; the Chef's Specials and the all-day breakfast seemed interesting.
