I visited this cafe with MKBJ in Nov 08 by recommendation of eatability! The food was amazing, we were blown away by everything tt we ordered! The atmosphere was really rustic and comfortable for a long lazy lunch. It is located on Danks St in Waterloo, only just a few steps from Hillsong church (my favour-dest church!). They have a branch in Potts Point too, but the waterloo atmosphere is so much better and peaceful. Cafe Sopra is a cafe that is attached to Fratelli fresh which is a grocery store with emphasis on fresh food and italian groceries. Check out the groceries even if you dont feel cafe, so interesting! anyways here's wat we devoured!!!
Menu for Cafe Sopra
ENTREE: We had the Cured Meat Platter which was simple yet sublime... It had 4 cuts of fresh cured meat namely pancetta, prosciutto, smoked ham and salami and topped with lemon juice. The flavours of each meat was so distinct thought all made from pork. yummy...
MAIN : We had the panfried SARDINE BUSCHETTA topped with pesto. Lovely!!! The simple bruschetta had been turned into this! The panfried sardine melted i ur mouth and the sourdough at the bottom of the dish was soaked with the tomato puree and juices of the fish. Even guys who only eat meat would give way.
DESSERT: We were really full after mains but as the galz say 'therez always space for dessert' (personally i tink tt we subconsioucly dnt finish our mains so we can save space for dessert, but WHO CARES!) We had simple strawberry and lemon gelato for dessert! It was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Even marv who's not a sorbet fan was converted!
Below are a few pics of the marvin looking like a lost sheep in the grocery stall:
For u pple who like the natural taste of fresh produce, shopping for fresh produce, or a long lazy lunch, I highly recommend this pl!
