The comprehensive lunch and dinner menu is impressive and includes pizza, pasta, Guinness bison burgers, butter chicken and salmon steaks. For a lighter option consider the ready-made sandwiches, salads or soups. The soup varies daily and may include cream of mushroom, cream of broccoli or Moroccan chicken. The soup was a meal in itself and cost $4.10.



The chicken Quesadilla was tasty. The serving size was large and it only cost $9.



Other delicious looking menu options included the berry and goat cheese spinach salad and the Thai chicken thin crust pizza, topped with roasted chicken, Thai peanut sauce, carrots, yellow capsicum, cilantro and mozzarella.

Save room for dessert though! Dessert crepes can be ordered from the menu or check out the sweets cabinet. The sweets cabinet was bursting at the seams with chocolate éclairs, tiramisu, crème brulee and three varieties of baked cheesecake. The turtle cheesecake was rich and creamy, with a thick biscuit base, drizzled with chocolate and smashed almonds. Delicious!
