When I walked into the RendezVous Cafe on Wilson Boulevard, I didn’t realize how tiny it was. There are, maybe, six tables in the whole place, it’s an intimate location with no table inside that seats more than a pair. We had three, but we managed to grab the two corner tables without too much of an awkward situations. The menu is primarily Panini sandwiches and Crêpes, which was perfect for a light dinner out on a weeknight. I had the pastrami panini, Tiff and Lisa had the chicken pesto paninis. The sandwiches were divine, hot and cheesy, savory and tangy, and made for a perfect lunch or dinner.
Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying the crêpes, which were soft and sweet and, in our case, filled with nutella and bananas and drizzled with a bit of chocolate. While the wait was a bit long, and the seating somewhat awkward, it’s a great place to grab some dessert, or even some light dinner. I suspect that once the weather clears up (hey, tonight is supposed to be just about perfect…) their outside tables will be exactly what Virginia Square folks need: a great place for a cup of coffee and a crêpe.
