I’ve had a caffeine headache all day which has made it a bit hard to concentrate on books. Luckily Andi tagged me on a meme and I’ll do that instead. Heh.
The Restaurant Meme:
The rules:1. Add a direct link to your post below the name of the person who tagged you.
Include the city/state and country you’re in.
Nicole (Sydney, Australia)
velverse (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
LB (San Giovanni in Marignano, Italy)
Selba (Jakarta, Indonesia)
Olivia (London, England)
ML (Utah, USA)
Lotus (Toronto, Canada)
tanabata (Saitama, Japan)
Andi (Dallas [ish], Texas, United States)
Iliana (Dallas (ish), Texas, United States)
2. List out your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location.
3. Tag 5 other people (preferably from other countries/states) and let them know they’ve been tagged.
- Cafe Brazil – This coffee house was often my stopping spot after a late night of dancing. Now, you won’t find me there in the wee hours of the night but I visit often to have my favorite omelettes. If I’m in a specially decadent-feeling kind of mood then I’ll have the Pancrepes. These are crepes dipped in cinnamon egg batter, topped with creme anglaise, raspberry sauce, walnuts and powdered sugar. Talk about a sugar high.
- Dream Cafe – I love the atmosphere and that they have a good variety of vegetarian offerings. Plus they make a yummy mocha cafe latte.
- Los Lupes – I judge most Mexican food places on their sour cream chicken enchiladas. This place has some fabulous ones. The chips and salsa are some of my favorites too. Plus you can’t beat the prices.
- Via Real – For a more upscale Mexican food place I love this restaurant. Step inside and you feel like you are somewhere in Santa Fe. All the dishes I’ve tried have always been excellent and their Flan is one of the best, yes, even as good as the one my dad used to make.
- Fortuna Grill – This cozy little restaurant has become a recent favorite. Every time I’ve gone in, I’ve selected a different dish and all have been yummy, but the manicotti might be my favorite one yet.
Well, as if you couldn’t guess from this list, I love breakfast dishes (although usually not as breakfast), Mexican food and Italian food.
Now I’ll tag Christine (because she always knows the cool places), Isabel (because I love hearing about New Orleans) and Matt (because he always seems to visit the best restaurants ever).
I promise book talk will resume tomorrow.
This is too hard, but I will do it. 5 best places to eat in NOLA.
Will sleep on it.
Yummy! I love Cafe Brazil (the one in Deep Ellum is a frequent spot when we finish listening to a friend’s band at Club Dada). Unfortunately, that’s the only restaurant I’m familiar with from your list. Looks like I have some eating to do!
Wow… I can feel the Dream Cafe and the mocha cafe latte. I check out the link you included. The place looks… like… heaven! My my, nice place, nice latte… oh… I can see myself sitting there for hours 🙂
Cafe Brazil looks comfy too. I must try the Pancrepes you mention. I just love sweet stuff.
And and and… I would be glad to try Fortuna Grill too… and Via Real if I have the extra money… Geez… sounds like I want all and all from your list.
I really like your recommendations 😀 Thanks a lot.. thanks a lot. Hehe.. if you have others to share… please don’t hesitate! 😀
I would like to visit cafe brazil if I’m ever around there..sounds like a very nice place..thanks for doing the tag and hope you fun
ps I have a list of ppl doing the tag on my site..please send me a message if you know of anyone else doing it so I can update you guys to my list
I read your blog cuz it’s pretty, and I love books. I didn’t know you were from Dallas. I moved to Switz. from there. This made me a little nostalgic. there was a great, very unknown, german cafe behind the 1/2 priced books that I loved. I also loved an italian restaurant that was over off Knox/Henderson, but the name escapes me. I hate that…I loved that place. They have the best seafood risotto. shoot…! Anyway, great blog 🙂
Hmmm….I didn’t put Mexican food on my list, but I do love it so. There’s something wonderful about eating chips and salsa with a nice soothing glass of water. If I ever make it to Texas I will definitely have to try those pancrepes! Yum!
Very good choices girl! I will have to see what I can come up with!
Yum. My mouth is watering – everything you’ve described sounds divine; I think I’d like the sour cream enchiladas for lunch, and the Pancrepes for dinner….
Hi, Iliana!
Loved seeing your restaurant recommendations! Cafe Brazil sounds like my kinda place….the pancrepes sound heavenly…wish I could download some! 🙂
It’s almost lunch time and you are making me very hungry 🙂
Isabel – You can do it 🙂
Andi – Yep, that’s the one I used to go to back when I was a singleton. ha,ha… Still love it.
Velverse – Those pancrepes really are the best thing!
Nicole – This was fun to do. And, I know Christine who I tagged has already done it. She’s so sweet.
Jessica – I know exactly what restaurant you are talking about. I have gone there for the desserts 🙂 Now I wish I knew which Italian restaurant you were talking about.
Heather – Once I start eating the chips I can’t stop. Yes, if you ever make it to Dallas you must try those.
Christine – I love your list and can’t believe I haven’t visited any. Sigh. Must get out more often!
Tara – Now, that’s a good combo 🙂 I could use some pancrepes right now actually!
Lotus – Oh someone needs to figure out how we can do that – ha,ha…
Stefanie – Hee,hee… Hope you had a yummy lunch! I had a salad and it’s really not what I wanted after working on this list last night. ha,ha.
Oh yum! They all sound wonderful! I love Italian and Mexican food too. There are loads of Italian restaurants of all kinds but I wish there were better Mexican restaurants here.
