Day 41 Lunch at Zaftig's Delicatessen in Coolidge Corner Brookline



 Zaftig's own brand of Raspberry Lime Rickey



 *LENOX OMELETTE
Sun-dried tomatoes, chives and goat cheese. 10.95



 REUBEN
Grilled pumpernickel, corned beef, Swiss, sauerkraut, Russian dressing. 12.95

 bagel chips and cream cheese

this is a repeat review of one of my favorite places in Coolidge Corner, which is a fabulous neighborhood in Brookline with a lot of great dining options…also near the place of go for my Mani/Pedis , but enough about me.

I normally go to Zaftigs for breakfast (which i highly recommend) but in this particular meal we had the opportunity to have lunch/brunch.  After we ordered , they brought us the complimentary bagel chips. I am a huge fan of their bagels and they make their chips from them. A nice little treat to pick on while waiting for your meal.

I had the reuben and i have to say, as a huge fan of this particular sandwich having it at a jewish delicatessen is a rare treat. The meat was amazing , plentiful BUT not overwhelming ( something i hate). Just the right amount of russian dressing and sauerkraut, i can't recall the last time i enjoyed a sandwich so much. The french fries were good but nothing special, i had heard their steak fries were terrific which is what i meant to order. My friend got the Lenox omlete, which she liked but didn't love. Her one complaint was the amount of goat cheese inside the omelet, goat cheese has a powerful flavor and that much of it inside the omlete was just too much.  She thoroughly enjoyed the bagel and home fries that came along with it.
We both got a raspberry lime rickey , and i must say Zaftigs own brand of soda is better or on par with most brand name sodas. 

I always enjoy my trips to Zaftigs as the staff is friendly and attentive, but the food is what always brings me back every time.

Have a great night and an even better meal.
