Lula Cafe

This local favorite has one of the city’s best seasonally driven menus, so expect weekly changes that’ll keep you up to date on the season’s crops. During brunch, look for the ricotta griddle cakes with rhubarb jam, sweet rhubarb and strawberry fool. At night, vie for a table to try recent specials like cavatelli with black mission figs, black olive, braised pork cheek, feta and cipollini agridolce. Owners/new parents Amalea Tshilds and Jason Hammel are happy to accommodate kids with dishes such as plain turkey sandwiches, simple pastas and quesadillas.
