A view of the Avocado Bread, Trout Salad and the Couscous Tower
CAFE GITANE- 242 Mott Street New York, NY 10012
My interest in this place started off with my love of avocado. Any place that puts avocado in almost anything works for me. But it was only after that did I discover all the other delicious unique dishes this place had to offer. The place is small, cozy, colorful and friendly and there is usually a wait time. When the weather is nice the street is perfect to kill some time until a table opens up, but even with a cold weather I suggest waiting for it at least once if not more. When you go there make sure you start off with an order of Avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, chili flakes on seven grain toast from the petite plates. You will see every table around you definitely having at least one portion of the plate. I recently tried the Smoked Trout Salad, which was tasteful, but what we had after that was especially unique if you like Moroccan Couscous. It's a couscous tower topped with hummus. Try it! In the end the entire menu sounds delicious and I look forward to going there again to try all the other dishes they have to offer. As a useful tip, they only take cash.
