Dinner for one: whole grain bread with flaxseed, cream cheese and fresh dill.
Love the fresh aftertaste of dill long after you've finished your dinner.

My girlfriend Mary and I went to Barbary Fig on Grand Avenue in St. Paul in the middle of July.
The hummus and fresh bread above hint at the Mediterranean feel- definitely worth trying! I had a lentil salad that I forgot to photograph (somehow) and Mary had a green salad. Patio was very airy and secluded. The service was friendly-they almost grateful for business! But what a hidden gem! Barbary Fig has their own parking behind their restaurant too- and if you ask me, you can't beat convenience. It's all about hospitality.
