Cornwall, Ontario -- I was walking downtown with my son after a trip to the bank and decided to stop by the newest addition to the downtown panoply of lunch venues; Dish... Real Food.  Although not "officially" opened, a lot of anticipation has been buzzing around about this brand new niche via Facebook and Twitter over the past few weeks. 

I noticed the latest sign at 15 1/2 Second street and the smell of yummy pork roast (I think it was pork roast--in any case, it smelled delectable!) dragged me right in.  Inside--the scents of coffee and cinnamon swirls.

Simple yet homey in a country kitchen sort of way, Dish... Real Food is inviting not only by its warm Christmassy decor, but also by the bouquet of aromas and by the conviviality of the owners, Keitha Fisher and Monique Vermeulen. As you open the door, you'll surely feel welcome.

Soup, sandwiches, pastries and coffee will all be part of the regular menu.  The coffee, from a local roaster is Fair-Trade Certified Organic. We did sample a latte and it was rich in aroma and bold in taste. It reminded me that of "La Brûlerie St-Denis", My favorite Montreal coffee place, where coffee beans are roasted right there onsite, filling the place with all sorts of amazing scents. I left there wanting more and envisioning the bright future ahead of Dish...Real Food.  Promising.
