Cafe' Manna

There is a new vegetarian restaurant in Brookfield, named, Cafe'Manna. It is near Sendik's on Capital and Brookfield Road. Before Ben and Kelly left for Austin, Ben bought Tim and I a gift certificate to this restaurant since he knew we were trying to eat more healthy.

On Friday night we ventured out to try our first all vegetarian menu. Cafe' Manna is a very small restaurant and only a few people were in the restaurant ( not too many vegetarians in Brookfield). When we got to our table we ordered a glass of wine. It was served with cashew coconut hummus and flatbread. Very good. We tried tabbouleh wraps for an appetizer which was also very good. But if I would have know that same dish would have been served with my main meal I would have tried the baba ghanouj instead.

Interesting looking salads. Will have to try one of these next time.

For our main meal Tim ordered the baked Falafel and citrus tahini and I ordered the Mediterranean portobello sandwich. Both meals were really good.

To top off our meal we both decided to try dessert. Tim had the carrot cake and I the blackberry and pear crisp. Once again, both were excellent.

Cafe Manna is a welcomed addition to Brookfield. I would definitely go back again. I think next time I would not get an appetizer and skip the dessert. I've enclosed the menus for you to look at. This is a great restaurant for anyone who wants to eat a healthy meal.

Thanks Ben for the gift certificate to this great restaurant!
