Ermin’s French Café, with four area locations, has always been a favorite of my family’s, even back when it was located in its glass enshrinement on the second story of the old Galleria on Fourth Street. Today I still run to it for its spicy black bean burrito. Soup, salad, dessert, drink, and even ice cream options abound there; however, the black bean burrito was a favorite from during my pre-middle school basketball practice winter days. The warmth was predictable and fulfilled a need for a healthier fill of gooey-goodness than one like me might find at a joint like, say ohhhhhh Taco Bell!
The atmosphere is always nice – usually I visit the location on fourth street by the library nestled in the Heyburn Building now and there are always literate attorneys sitting around munching and quiet medical assistants enjoying their finds! For the price of eight dollars, you will get one roll, one gigantic side enough to feed me and then some, and a giant entrée. The entrée options are as follows: spinach quiche, pot pie, Montgomery Inn BBQ (how do they pull that off? It sounds scrumptious!), twice baked potato, and chicken tetrazzini (yuck!).
The café was open in 1993 by two Bosnian brothers escaping the war in the country, both by the name of Ermin. They sold the restaurant in 1997 and now there are either four or five locations (inside the store it says four, on their webpage they say they have five).
This café comes highly recommended; however in terms of taste and selection I might recommend the City Café over it, with their zesty daily specials and fun creations!
