Soho Survivor: Cafe Europa Marks First Year with Party
Cafe Europa in Jianwai Soho is marking its one-year anniversary this Wednesday, March 21, from 7 PM onward. Soho was never my hood, but former ASC man Campbell Thompson convinced me to visit and I’ve returned to Cafe Europa four or five times during the past six months. It has a well thought out wine selection that includes eight by the glass, and the owners, Joseph and Li, are friendly and informative. King of the kitchen is Aussie Tal Surmon, who’ll put a cleaver in your forehead if you dare to say, or even think of daring to say, “put another shrimp on the barbie.” (Kidding. Kind of…)
Wednesday night will feature finger foods and canapes as well as a roast suckling pig prepared on the outside patio. It will be a cash bar: RMB 5 for beer and soft drinks, RMB 10 for juices, and RMB 25 for a glass of red or white wine. If you’ve only heard and never been, this is your chance to give Cafe Europa a look. For more info, call 5869-5663 or email josefkiang@yahoo.com. See www.cafeeuropa.cn for a map.
