The Scene
The owners of Absinthe--known for some of the best pizza and paninis in town--have opened this Montrose lunch spot next door to offer gourmet grub before dusk. The casual, friendly eatery reveals its character with an exposed red brick wall, dark wood accents and furniture, and carefully chosen work by local artists. Just like the bar next door, the place does well attracting an eclectic crowd including downtown button-ups, artists and gallerinas from the nearby Museum District, and hipsters seeking a vegan or healthy meal option. Most diners prefer to sit on the quaint outdoor patio and enjoy a few rays with lunch before heading back to the grind.

The Food
Salads served in sleek white bowls come in two sizes: Solo or Doppio. Noshers pick one or up to a combination of four lettuces, one cheese and one dressing. The Solo includes 10 toppings, the Doppio, 15, of almost any salad ingredient imaginable including fresh veggies and sprouts, grilled portobellos, roasted potatoes or peppers, fresh and dried fruits and nuts galore. Add a protein such as tender beef tenderloin, tasty herb chicken or shrimp for a couple dollars more. The menu also features gourmet sandwiches such as the savory and sweet Executive Grilled Cheese with white cheddar, bacon and green apples on French bread, or the foodie favorite El Capitan with proscuitto, brie, basil and honey.

The Inside Scoop

The Extras - Can't decide between a sandwich and salad? Get both. Bowl also offers a side salad with five toppings for $3.
Parking - Parking is in the same lot as Absinthe Lounge. Walk along the sidewalk to Bowl which has its own entrance on Richmond Avenue.

Pizza is to-die-for! Fresh made-to-order salads

by htownmoma 5 Bowl Cafe

Bowl Cafe has the best personal pizzas ive ever eaten!. Super thin crust made to order over fire brick with the freshest ingredients. Incredible. The salads are fresh and made to order with any combination of ingredients. I Love the lemon tarragon dressing. I think the best item on the menu has to be the Executive Grilled Cheese! Apples and melted white cheese on fresh grilled bread. Awesome little patio garden for cooler weather dining.

Pros: Scrumptious Pizza and Executive Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
