HEALTHY DINING:: CAFE di SOL:: PONCEY HIGHLANDS

                                                640 N. Highland Ave. Atlanta, GA 30306

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of having dinner and drinks at Cafe di Sol. Nestled in the Poncey Highlands area, this restaurant brings a great southern twist to healthy cafe dining. Entering the restaurant you are engulfed with the aroma of sweet spices and greeted by cheerful staff. The funky waiters and waitresses add a third dimension to the dining experience that make this place a unique and enjoyable. I started my food excursion with a mango margarita and an appetizer of butternut squash ravioli. I was hesitant to try the ravioli because I am not the biggest fan of squash but let's just say... it blew my socks off :) My next course was the Turkey Burger on Ciabatta with lots of caramelized onions. People fail to realize how hard it is to properly season turkey meat, but Cafe di Sol had the perfect recipe to a succulent, juicy turkey burger. I ended the night with another mango margarita (from fresh mango nectar juice) and a side of bread pudding. I had an amazing night, laughing with friends, fraternizing with other patrons, and enjoying an awesome meal. If you are looking for a quaint cafe with superior drinks, food, and service then this is the place to go :) :: Be sure to visit on Mondays with the Specials on buy one Burger get one free and on Wednesdays when you can sample 5 Wines for $15.
