jhm Kinder Museum Cafe

 

The Gallery of the Academy of Architecture, across the lane from the jhm Kinder Museum. Wednesday 30 July 2008

We decided to try this cafe across from the Kinder Museum, with tables inside the glassed passageway looking out to this courtyard with cafe tables. We had walked inside toward the kitchen and found we had to go back to this side door to the courtyard and then across to the customer entrance. We were told to take a seat and they would be with us shortly to take our order. From the menu we could see that it was a Jewish establishment with explanation of kosher meats and milk products that can be mixed with any of the meats. We found a table partly in the shade and enjoyed a sandwich with had large slices of cheese (gouda?) on panini style brown bread that had been heated so the cheese was slightly soft. So we split the bread in two and built up an open sandwich each with supplied side salad. The cappuccino was OK, a little bitter for a start (palate adjustment?) but Barb said her cafe latte was fine and the almond slice was excellent. From a leisurely lunch and people watching we walked back out to the surrounding passageway and studied the photos on display of Muslim and Jewish kids having got together to learn about each other and posted photos of their experiences. Also on display were interesting natural light photos of the reconstruction of the Museum (I think).
