The Menu
Café Zuppina serves something for everyone. This is such a cliché statement, but in this case it’s 100% true. While the restaurant serves signature beef, chicken, lamb and fish dishes, they also serve vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals. Unlike other restaurants that offer boring salads to vegetarians and vegans, Café Zuppina features three veggie meals that include large portions of seasonal hot and cold vegetables.
Popular Meat Dishes
- Zuppina’s Delight – Pureed eggplant, topped with Beef, Lamb or Chicken and served with rice and veggies.
- Shish Kebab – Select cuts of marinated lamb meat, two lamb chops and lamb patties served with rice and veggies
- Chicken Limone – Chicken breasts served with special lemon sauce with special veggies.
- Beef Wellington – Beef and vegetables wrapped in puffy pastry.
- Gyro Platter – Oven baked brisket served with Romanian-style mushrooms, rice and veggies.
