Tucked into a charming space once home to a church, Mirinda offers mouthwatering Moroccan wraps, sweet pastries, and fresh mint tea served by a friendly mother-daughter duo.
"Open for: Brunch, lunch Price range: $$ Tucked into a vaulted space that was once a church entryway, this little mother-daughter-run cafe in the Jordaan specializes in Moroccan baked goods. The rotating selection includes meat- or vegetable-filled triangles of briouat, spinach and feta pies, and pastilla, the famous Maghrebi savory-sweet chicken pastry. Sitting at a little outdoor table with a glass of mint tea on a chilly winter day, you could almost imagine yourself in the Rif Mountains, if not for the trams rolling by. Must-try dish: The lamb msemen wrap, a flaky flatbread filled with spiced meat and grilled peppers, crisped in a panini press, is a step up from the surrounding kebab shops (ask for it spicy)." - Katharine Khamhaengwong
