After sampling and enjoying the delights of Maison Mayci in Moseley I thought I should try out the original bad boy, i.e. the Kings Heath establishment of the same name on Poplar Road. Just like it's younger sibling it is a very nicely decorated and authentic feeling Frenchy cafe, this one extending the illusion even further when I was greeted by the owner, a real life French man! Anyway...once sitting comfortably on a table in the nice little courtyard, I scanned down the menu, my eye immediately caught by the 'merguez' sandwich, which the description informed me was spicy beef sausage (called merguez) with roasted vegetable and Dijon mustard. TRES BIEN...a delightful sandwich...the merguez sausage was, as advertised, slightly spicy and very delicious, perfectly complemented by the roasted vegetables which were really soft, sweet and slightly oily, just as they should be. The hint of mustard topping the sandwich off. The side salad with new potatoes which comes with every sandwich is always a winner and makes this not only a very satisfying lunch but also a bit of a bargain at £3.90. C'est fantastique!
Found ya!!
