If you’re searching for a menu that feels like a Mediterranean breeze, Fennel Kitchen and Bar’s offerings are a quiet revelation. I started with their Fennel Slaw, a crisp, citrusy prelude, before dipping warm pita into their smoky Eggplant Dip, which is smooth yet layered with subtle spice. The Zaatar Petite Carrots with Creme Fraiche & Caviar offer an earthy crunch balanced with a whisper of luxury, while the Medi-Fries are dangerously easy to keep reaching for.
The Kale Caesar Salad is vibrant, with a punchy dressing that clings perfectly to each leaf, while the Quinoa & Avocado Salad brings freshness with a nutty undertone that lingers pleasantly. If you want something warm, their Lentil Soup is a hug in a bowl, and the Barley Soup offers a comforting, rustic richness.
Moving to mains, the Protein Bowl feels like clean fuel, loaded with fresh greens and grains, while the Salmon Bowl is tender and flaky, kissed with bright herbs. The Chicken Kabob, Shish Kabob, and Salmon Kabob each arrive with smoky char, maintaining juiciness inside, satisfying without feeling heavy.
Their sandwiches are a hidden strength—try the Steak Sandwich with its savory layers, or the Fried Mortadella Sandwich that surprises with its satisfying crisp edges. The Falafel Wrap is fragrant with herbs, while the Open Face Parma Ham Sandwich and Salmon Sandwich showcase their ingredients simply, letting freshness lead.
Drinks keep the meal lively: Lavender Lemonade for a floral lift, or Strawberry Ginger Lemonade for a tangy twist, alongside Glass Bottled Coke or a clean Aqua Panna. If you linger for a Cafe Latte or Hot Cocoa, it’s the perfect close to a menu that is comforting yet refined, every bite making you pause just long enough to savor.
