Dalida

Seeing as though it is a hop, skip and a jump from my apartment AND the amazing reviews I’ve heard about it, I’m genuinely surprised it has taken me this long to make a visit to the Dalida team. However, good things are worth waiting for! With the Arab-European fusion feel, this hideaway offers the coziest of vibes. It is, of course, imperative to know that their boutique sibling bar is just across the street.

It would be a dishonor if I failed to mention the spread of spicy peppers and feta cheese with a thin layer of brûléed sugar. However, the grilled calamari skewer that was served on a bed of roasted eggplant and fried onion was the highlight of my meal, and the panna cotta our waiter so graciously gifted us was the cherry on top.
