Advice: Bring a friend or two along and share some dishes.

Coca

Crispy Bread Wrapped Wild Prawn

Loved the cozy room even though I felt like I was sitting in Ikea, as the décor is very Ikea like from the tables and chairs to the lamps. My foodie friend Mijune of Followmefoodie joined me for dinner last week and we both shared a variety of dishes. Our meal started off with a couple Tapas, we had the Crispy Bread Wrapped Wild Prawn ($2.50) & Alioli which was quite flavourful; and the Coca (Catalan flatbread) with Chorizo & Anchovy ($4).

Pine-nut, Raisin, Spinach & Parmesan dip with crostini

White Truffle & Lobster Risotto

Next was a Share plate where we had the Pine-nut, Raisin, Spinach & Parmesan dip with crostini ($7). For the Main we had the White Truffle & Lobster Risotto ($18), topped with herbed creme fraiche.

Molten Chocolate Cake with Coffee Ice

Hazelnut Pannecotta

To end this delicious meal we shared a couple desserts, my favourite was the Molten Chocolate Cake with Coffee Ice Cream ($7) and the crunchy topped Hazelnut Pannecotta ($7). This is a great place for late night tapas with friends.

Advice: Specify the spice (heat) level for the dishes you order. Share dishes with your friends. Best to come for dinner.

Chicken Spinach

Vegetable Jalfrazi

Steamed Rice

Garlic Naan

I have dined here many times over the years and always enjoy the ambience, service, presentation and the tasty dishes.  I have eaten almost all the dishes on the menu, most recently my friend and I shared some dishes and had the Chicken Spinach ($11.95) boneless chicken with spinach, cooked with garlic, ginger & Indian spices; Vegetable Jalfrazi ($10.95) seasonal fresh vegetables with onion, bell peppers, tomato in a light curry sauce; Steamed Rice ($2.95) plain steamed rice; and Garlic Naan ($2.50) white leavened bread flavored with garlic & basil. There is an extensive selection of Vegetarian items along with soups, salads, curries, appetizers, tandoori sizzlers, naan breads, rice specialties, seafood, chicken, lamb and a good range of desserts including my favourite Gulabjamun the dark brown round shaped cheese balls comes in a honey syrup.

Advice: Usually very busy after 9pm, go early if you want to talk with friends. No cover charge and everyone is welcome.

Located in the heart of Davie Village, this bar/lounge has a great vibe late into the night. Serving up inventive cocktails with great music, live dj’s spinning, theme nights equals a whole lot of fun.

Some of the more popular cocktails include the LuLu Melon ($9.50) made with Skyy vodka (2 oz), muddled watermelon, passionfruit, fresh lime and cranberry; Mojito ($10.50) made with Appleton v/x rum (2 oz), fresh mint, raw sugar, fresh lime and soda; and the Pippi Longstocking ($9.50) made with Absolut Vodka (2 oz), St. Germain Elderflower liquer, elderflower syrup, muddled orange zest and fresh ginger. The huge cocktail list features fresh, fruity, floral, tart, savoury and classic drinks. The wine list boasts reds, whites and bubbles. The beer list includes a Dead Frog pale ale and lager on tap along with local and global beers. Ciders and Coolers round out the beverage offerings. One of the popular Bartenders is Ryan Steele who mixed up these cocktails shown here.

The interior is stylish, movies and tv shows are projected on the back wall, the seating on the couches is comfy, seating at the bar provides a great place to see and be seen.
