Cafe Sondra of Atlanta, GA

Cafe Drake recently visited our Mother in Atlanta, GA for a belated birthday celebratory weekend. The photos above bear witness to our own creative origins and fount of inspiration. We had a lovely time both out on the town (lunches, dinner, a Behind-the-Scenes tour of the new aquarium) and relaxing in the cozy splendor of Cafe Sondra. Saturday was Mother's birthday dinner: we prepared Sweet Potato Pakoras with Brown Mustard Seed Cabbage Slaw and Cilantro Chutney as a starter, followed by a curried Chicken with mangoes entree, sided by dhal, cardamom rice and onion relish. Happy to report all was washed down with glasses of crisp bubbly. Cafe Sondra took kitchen duty the previous night, beginning with creamy mushrooms in vermouth and bleu cheese and Manhattans on the terrace, followed by a green salad accented with cheese and dried cranberries, followed even further by a casserole of Chicken Divan and mashed fingerling potatoes. Dessert was a scrumptious Frozen Key Lime Pie with Whipped Cream. A few recipes and reviews of Atlanta restaurants coming soon to Cafe Drake.
