Cafe Medina is located in Crosstown and it's owned by Executive Chef Nico Schuermans and his wife/business partner Karri Schuermans. Cafe Medina is right beside Chambar on Beatty Street very close to the Stadium/Chinatown station and it's both ventured by the Schuermans. If you ever dine at Chambar, I recommend you their mussels! It's succulent and ABSOLUTELY delicious!! The Schuermans and former Chambar Sous-Chef David Robertson also co-owns Dirty Apron Cooking School.
Cafe Medina has delicious unique food and they serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, many choices of coffee and tea and pastries as well. It is named after the 2nd holiest city after Mecca, meaning enlightened city.
Les Boulettes $15
2 poached eggs, spicy Moroccan meatballs, cilantro, hummus, raita, Grilled Foccacia
My boyfriend ordered les boulettes. I tried this dish last time and I really enjoyed it. I think it's partly because I was starving before I had the meal. Also, the meatballs were seasoned really nicely (almost salty) but it went really well with poached eggs. When I poked the egg open, the yolk oozed out and it tasted great with the sauce/meatballs.
The Moroccan meat ball dish came with raita & hummus and foccacia.
