Cafe Cluny is a sweet little West Village place to lunch. It had been years since I had dined there, this time booking a table outside as the weather was perfect.

Service is attentive, food is good. My dining partner tried their unusual purple sticky rice bowl with fresh fravocado, kale, shiitake mushrooms and broccoli rabe ($27) topped with a poached egg ($2). She skipped the sriracha broth served with it.
I tried the freshly chopped romaine salad with cherry tomatoes, haricot verts, scallions and a little frisée, all topped with crumbled bacon ($20) over a chicken paillard ($12). I requested the dressing on the side.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist the temptation of their homemade fresh mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwich. Thinly sliced chocolate cake enveloped a creamy, fresh mint filling, a delightful treat that was both refreshing and indulgent. It was a sweet ending that was truly worth the calories.

I recommend Cafe Cluny.
