Last Visit: probably last wednesday
The Aegean Cafe is hidden in an alleyway behind the east bound bus stop on Fort Street between Douglas & Blanshard. I had no idea this restaurant was in in town until about a year ago when a friend of mine alerted me to the wednesday special, since then I head this way most wednesdays. The wednesday special is simply the best wrap I've ever had.
The chicken chipotle wrap is, as the name suggests, a chicken wrap with a chipotle sauce. The chicken is prepared (I believe) in the same manner as for a chicken souvlaki and is placed in a warm tortilla shell with lettuce, carrots, the chipoltle sauce and a scoop of mashed potatoes. The mashed potato transforms this lunch from regular wrap to the best ever, no need for rice here.
With your special you can get a soup or salad. The soup is homemade and changes daily; if it is a flavour that I think I might like I always do. If you prefer salad you can have a house salad (I never have), a ceaser salad (don't, no options, just dressed lettuce with ceaser dressing that isn't very good) or greek salad with a chipotle olive oil that gives this salad a tasty twist from a normal greek.
So go on wednesday, get the special and you'll be out $10.60 (stupid HST, used to be $9.98) but you will have had one of the best chicken wraps ever. If you're eating in be sure to head upstairs so you are not crowded out by the lineup for food. I have never ordered anything else and never been on any other day because you can't get the special but I would certainly be willing to try anything from this great little place with courteous, efficient and personable service.
