Gypsy Queen Café
Gypsy Queen Cafe is arguably Baltimore’s most adventurous food truck bringing a global and inventive restaurant to the streets. Offering an original menu displayed fully on the side of the truck, the chefs don’t miss a beat. To mention a few most popular dishes you can enjoy the bacon-topped mac ‘n cheese served in a waffle cone and sliders topped with bacon relish, Indian style cheesesteak and falafel or for the vegetarians: curried chick peas.
Gypsy Queen Café is a fun and delicious experience so much so that the owners are now planning to open a restaurant due to its increasing popularity and demand. So, keep an eye on out on streets of Baltimore–if you see the food truck, be sure to place an order.
The Elephant on North Charles
The Elephant is a true part of the history of Baltimore being over 100 years old. It has also been renovated and reinvented several times. Built in the 1850’s, the restaurant is a magnificent mansion with a truly electric atmosphere.
The spectacular menu is globally inspired, and their grilled octopus was awarded Dish of the Year by Baltimore City Paper. The Elephant has some of the best seafood dishes in the country such as Rock Fish and Seared Scallops. So you can be sure that they have some exquisite chefs working hard to provide customers with some mouth-watering treats. Not to mention the excellent food storage system, and very likely a trusted emergency commercial refrigeration repair service on hand that ensures their seafood stays as fresh as the day it was brought in from the ocean! The prices are also quite reasonable and on Tuesdays, they do a special offer: Burger and a Beer for $13.
