Once again Carmel’s Dametra Cafe wins the Weekly readers’ vote for Best Mediterranean in Monterey County. And while we’ve been talking about games this year, play is always on the menu at Dametra. The aromas from this cafe’s signature Lebanese dishes consistently lure passersby, but it’s this restaurant’s zeal for life that keeps guests coming back. Don’t forget the decadent baklava and Moroccan or Persian tea to end the night – it’s the perfect companion with Dametra’s tradition of singing and dancing among the tables.
