Lunch at Edelweiss Cafe

Believe it or not, I have driven past Armenian Street a number of times looking for this place unsuccessfully. It turned out that I was always looking on my left (to reasons still unknown to me), and the only restaurant I saw was the Colonial Restaurant almost directly opposite Edelweiss. One fateful day, I happened to look to my right, and viola! Edelweiss spotted.

This place is so easy to find and yet ... why did I only look to my left??

What a charming little place this is, very "old school"

A mirror gives the impression of big space, and dim lighting adds to the mood

Beer, anyone?

An open space within the building adds natural lighting to the place

If you live upstairs, you can just yell your orders from this window

We ordered lunch sets. For starters, a choice of: soup or ...

Salad. I suggest soup. You'll see why.

The set lunch comes with a drink. This is iced lemon tea.

There are 2 price categories for main dishes. This is meatloaf, the pricier set, but not necessary a good choice.

This is the cheaper set, and a better choice. Giant sausage. Note that they also give salad on the side ... the exact same one for starters. Now do you see why I suggested soup?
