Cosmos Cafe Apartments For Rent - First Ward, Charlotte, North Carolina

If you're up for some good eats but can't figure out what type of food you want to go for, give Cosmos Café a try. Located on N. College St, this eatery serves up a myriad of creative fusion fare, from grilled octopus to the wild mushroom ravioli. Walking in the door, the eclectic art and rustic exposed brick compliments the relaxed atmosphere (there's never a cover charge and no

dress code) to make you feel just as home as you would in your own apartment or local indie coffee joint.

Their signature dish is the $35 Kintaro Burger: a Kobe beef patty stuffed with braised beef tenderloin, black truffle & foie gras, topped with roasted tomato fondue, horseradish mayo, caramelized onion and neatly tucked into a parmesan bun.

But the menu doesn't stop there - vegetarian apartment-ites will adore their hearty lentil soup or the Shepherd wood-fired pizza, featuring sundried tomatoes, pesto and baby artichokes. Aside from this, the café also boasts a mouth-watering dessert menu, including crème caramel and traditionally-made tiramisu. Prices start around $9 for entrées, but portions are considerably large. Add to this Thursday-night Latin dancing, a varied sushi menu (try the crispy tempura shrimp roll), and an ever-expanding repertoire of martinis, and it's no surprise that Café Cosmos is one of the most popular but laid-back hangouts in the college district.
