I just love the name – Latitude – I don’t know why but it sounds kinda cool – “Lets meet at Latitude for lunch”.
This bright and cheery café, housed next to the very popular Good Earth store is a perfect little girly lunch spot.
The cuisine is mostly continental – they serve a whole lot of soups, salads, sandwiches, pastas, etc. Nothing on the menu is highly creative or outstanding but the ambiance and location is sweet enough – to keep the crowds coming back for more.
Here is some of what we ate:
CHICKEN TIKKA CEASAR SALAD
This was a fusion salad, which had bits of chicken tikkas instead of grilled chicken in it. I do not think the Indian part came through enough but it was still a nice salad. I did think that they doused it with too much dressing though – next time I would ask for the dressing on the side.
TUNA/ CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
I thought these sandwiches were very average. The bread slices were just too thick which didn’t balance well with the filling inside.
CHICKEN TIKKA SANDWICH
This was a nice sandwich but I still thought the bread was a little too thick.
CHICKEN TERIYAKI
This dish didn’t really taste like a chicken teriyaki but was tasty. It had an interesting sauce and the chicken was nicely marinated and grilled.
WHOLE WHEAT PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS
DESSERTS
MEXICAN BROWNIE WITH ICE CREAM
I think this is their best dessert. It was a nicely warmed, gooey brownie served with vanilla ice cream. It was so good that we ordered two.
THREE BERRY TART WITH BERRY SAUCE
The crust on this dessert was a bit too chewy but the sauces were nice.
CHOCOLATE GATEAUX
This gateaux looked like a really nice, moist piece of cake but was disappointing. The frosting part served my chocoholic needs but the cake bit was way too dry.
