August is HOT at Dilly Cafe Wines & Gourmet
Should I say cool? This is usually our slowest month and we've been crazy busy - thank you!
What's this "cafe" thing? - Back in 1989 we were solidly a deli. Since then we've morphed into a full service casual fine dining spot and the menu is anything but deli-like. Yes, you can still get our great quiche and good sandwiches - now we have (and have had for several years) more exciting fare - the current menu features cedar wrapped grilled halibut, for instance. Plus the favorites, grilled salmon, grilled shrimp and asparagus salad. Our "deli" moniker confuses people who haven't been here - so we're updating our name, a bit, to reflect what's inside the door!
Some cool new things inside:
Q Tonic - all natural with hand picked quinine and organic agave - it's clean and refreshing and won't bury the taste of your gin or vodka. Best of all one serving has 25 calories instead of the 100+ calories from your typical tonic water. We're the first (and possibly still the only) retailer in Cincinnati to carry it and yes, you can order it from the bar too. Did I mention how sexy the bottle is?
DAS Caramelini - tiny individually wrapped squares of French style salted caramels in 5 flavors. A SOFI award nominee at the Fancy Food Show this year. Elegant, delicious.
Madisono's Gelato & Sorbets - hand made right here in town by Matt Madison (of the Madison's Market family) - lots of great flavors. Gelato is Italian ice cream and has less butterfat than traditional ice cream. By the pint carry-out. It flies out the door.
To go with these incredible gelatos we've brought in award-winning sauces from King's Cupboard - bittersweet chocolate, sugar free chocolate, organic hot fudge and organic cream caramel.
Another Fancy Food Show find - Cheese boards in two styles, each holds tools inside (included). Great for gifts or yourself!
Too busy to cook? Try Maya Kaimal's sauces - authentic Indian ingredients (and I am picky about my Indian food) - already made up. All you need to do is add lentils, chicken, tofu etc. Classic Korma, Coconut Curry and Tikka Masala. Also new on the market - fresh chutneys - fresh cilantro, Indian Fig and Fresh Coconut - easy to use, many applications that make you look like an Indian chef!
New menu coming out soon - old favorites of course will stay, some cold weather items will return along with some new favorites.
