There's
a comfortable vibe in the Blue Moon Café, a popular bar/bistro that's
been tucked away on Broughton Street for 20 years. A blue skylight in
the centre of the restaurant area shines down on guests sitting at
well-worn wooden tables. The menu serves up basic pub fare, but with
good attention to detail. A starter of bruschetta is a heap of tomatoes,
mozzarella and basil on a slice of fresh crusty bread. Three fat
triangles of crispy breaded brie, soft on the inside, is paired with
sticky red currant jelly. A warm noodle salad dotted with fried slices
of beef and vegetables is evenly tossed with a spicy chilli and lime
dressing. The open Mexican bean burger, served with chunky salsa, comes
with salad and deliciously salty fries. Deep Blue, the bar downstairs,
has a new pool table and serves up drinks until midnight. Gone is the
private dining room, but a juice bar and takeaway system will start in
spring 2008. With its informal vibe, friendly service and wide range of
wines, the Blue Moon Café continues to be a bright spot in the city's
gay quarter.
