From the sidewalk you can gaze through the window in gleeful anticipation as the waiters in this city-centre cafe-restaurant rustle up the house specialty bifana, a pork steak sandwich braised in a savory sauce wedged in a fresh bread roll. Time it right and you can catch the chef replenishing the oil in the pan, with the subsequent whoosh of flame shooting upwards in an orange flash. This is deliciously simple street food at its best, a succulent meaty snack that can be enjoyed at the counter or as an order to go. If you've time, grab a beer (try the Bohemia brand) and savor the moment.
