More information on Chef du Jour

This small, quiet, and informal one-room cafe (with a few outdoor tables) serves elegantly prepared food at very reasonable prices. There's an open kitchen along one side and oddly matched tables. Once you get a taste of what's on the menu (which changes every week), you'll be coming back for more. Take special note of the condiments, all of which -- from the ketchup to the salsa -- are homemade. Recent menu offerings included a smoked chicken quesadilla with barbecue drizzle and a garden burger with smoked gouda cheese. There is also a salad du jour. If you call in advance, the restaurant will fax you a copy of its current menu. Microbrewed beers and hard ciders are available. The restaurant is a little difficult to find; travel south from the plaza, cross Lomas, and find San Pasquale. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
