Art and Sandwiches
We’re all about mid-day multi-sensorial experiences, especially when our eyes and taste buds are involved.
We recently stopped in to Café Armatta in the Galerie Armatta, and perused paintings by artist James Playford while polishing off a healthy, tasty lunch. We chose the tangy Tofu Parmigiana sandwich, filled with lightly breaded tofu, flavourful marinara sauce and oozing with warm cheddar and gruyere cheese ($6.93) from the mostly vegetarian menu (don’t worry, carnivores, there will be a few more meaty options in the months to come), and washed it down with an icy, blended "Mango Classi", made with mango purée and coconut milk ($3.95). With no room for the spiced chocolate tartelette ($3.51) in our overstuffed bellies, we promised to come back for more.
We’ve always been patrons of the arts (and the sandwiches). —Jennifer Nachshen
