Cafe Spiga is located downtown in the byward market. It's a small but beautifully decorated Portuguese and Italian restaurant. The bruschetta here was delicious. It was brought out still hot; which is rare to find, the bread still crispy.
The topping was served on a focaccia bun, lightly toasted. It was a refreshing change to the usual baguette one usually finds bruschetta on. Atop the toast were thick chunks of tomato, leaves of spinach and parsley. The tomato lover in me was very impressed.
Finally the "pièce de résistance" was the cheese! A generous heap of mozzarella and camembert cheeses topped it off, melting so that it held all pieces of the antipasto together.
This appetizer was deprived of presentation. The plate was too small and the bread was crumbling over the side. Maybe they were saving dishes?
The verdict;
"We're going back for more! (maybe with an extra plate in hand)."
All in all, we give this bruschetta a tremendous:
8.8/10
