Mint Tea offers Dinner Service

Fridays & Saturdays 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Uptown Village’s Mint Tea has expanded its restaurant offerings to now include dinner service Fridays and Saturdays. For the evenings the casual café turns it up a notch with table service and a full menu. Meals average $15 to $18 and include a choice of soup or salad, an entrée and finish with a glass of tea and light dessert. Menu items change weekly but it always includes meat, poultry, fish and vegan options. While the lunch café has an international flair, the dinner menu is Moroccan-inspired, often filled with tagine dishes. A tagine is a Moroccan style of slowly cooking foods, and it is also the name of the clay cooking vessel often used over an open flame.

Recent Mint Tea menu items include Lamb Tagine with Couscous, True Cod Fillet with Chermoulah marinade, Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Vegetable Tagine with Couscous.

Mint Tea Chef Ashley Miller is preparing a special Valentine’s Day menu for dinner service both Friday and Saturday, Feb. 13 and 14.

The addition of dinner service also marks the opening of Mint Tea’s second story. The space was also renovated and now features their trademark décor of brightly painted walls, beautiful art and brilliant rugs. A cozy dinning nook is the highlight of the dining room. A private back room is also available for rental for private parties or business meetings.

Mint Tea is vegan and gluten-free friendly and is proud to serve local and organic produce and meats. Beer and wine will be available soon.
