By now, nearly everyone knows that Valencia Street's chic spot for inexpensive, quality dining is Luna Park, and as a result, the cozy, hip bistro is always packed. However, for anyone with a lunch hour or a leisurely daytime schedule, weekday lunch at Luna Park is the real deal, and you never have to wait in line for a table. The terrific drink menu and the abnormally summery weather on a recent visit required that we order a couple of Sapphire gin and Fresca cocktails. A more sophisticated foodie might have ordered a clean white wine to go with the deliciously raw Hawaiian ahi tuna poke appetizer, but hey, it's lunch.
Rules go out the window.
As we watched hipsters load sofas into Range Rovers and punk filmmakers load quarters into parking meters, we had the great pleasure of noshing on fresh cut french fries and vegan vegetable soup, zesty spinach salad and an altogether homey plate of grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. Furthermore, we've never had to wait forever for our food to arrive. Now that we know about lunch at Luna Park, we're going to skip the burritos and indulge in an easygoing sit-down situation a little more often. Terms and Conditions .
