Two Chefs and a (very small) Table

Tucked in a quiet residential street corner north of Chinatown is this charming little restaurant called Two Chefs and a Table.

It is so charming that even on a rainy Wednesday lunch hour the place was packed shortly before 12. And they so know their charm that you cannot go early and reserve a table (nor make reservations for lunch) since they only seat when "all members of the lunching party arrive". Thank God they "let it slip this time" and  got me in 6 minutes before my guest arrived.

The lunch menu is fascinating (click Here to see it). Mac & Cheese, Meathook Chili or Southwestern Fried Chicken salad? 

Alternatively you can choose from one of their 8 burgers covering land and sea. 

And let's not skim over the most unique dish I have seen in a while - Chicken and Waffles.

After much mental processing, I settled on the home made lamb burger. The meat itself was amazing, but the experience was taken a step up from regular burgers with their pesto and feta cheese. Of course they come with fries.

This is not a place to go for a discrete business deal or on a first date given how tight the place is (there are only 2 tables for 2, 4 tables for 4 and 1 or 2 community tables all cramped in a space as big as your bedroom).

But they sure pull it off with the nice decor, the buzz and the quality food. Who else could I treat for lunch next to go back there again?
