Icosium Kafe
Step in out of the cold. Drink in the atmosphere of beautiful art and rugs that adorn the walls. Maybe have a cup of Algerian Kafe (sweetness and strength tailored to order) or mint tea. Choose from about twenty different kinds of crepes. Our favorite is the Cheka Chouka: roasted peppers, fresh basil, goat cheese, caramelized onion, fresh roma tomatoes, pine nuts, roasted garlic and baby spinach with a little Merguez (lamb sausage) added. Add a side of Za’atar toast, and a Crepe Icosium—raisins, pears, orange blossom and pistachio ice cream—for dessert. Come with me to ze Casbah…
