Location: Apteka, 4606 Penn Ave., Bloomfield

Ambiance: Sage-scented air and large sprays of flowers and branches make this modern, sleek dining room feel cool and a little romantic.

What I ate: Kanapki

Cost: $6

Hot take: Described as tartines on the menu, these hearty toasts topped with three vegetable spreads are bursting with flavor and have a satisfying crunch. The flavors rotate which means ordering kanapki never gets dull. The pink-beet spread was vegetal and light, compared to the spiciness of the mushroom spread.
