Hardgrave Road in West End will soon welcome a new resident in the form of Cafe Disco – an eatery and wine bar built with a DIY ethos. The brainchild of Tasfeen Hassan (former co-owner of clothing boutique Contra and its coffee-slinging offshoot Cafe Contra), Cafe Disco will be tapping into Tasfeen’s Bangladeshi background, offering a menu of fare inspired by family recipes and Tasfeen’s own experiences of eating and travelling around the world. The seasonally evolving offering will be concise, but made with care and intent – think fresh breads (a homemade pita, cooked in a flame oven, will be a specialty), pickles, preserves and jams, with a take on a lamb murtabak described as Tasfeen’s ultimate version of a sausage roll. Coffee will be supplied by Northgate-based Passport Specialty Coffee, while booze will include fruit-forward cocktails and a wine list comprised of vino sourced from small producers. Tasfeen will be playing an assortment of disco records accumulated on his travels, including music by artists from Pakistan, Indonesia, India and Malaysia, which will form the bulk of the venue’s playlist. Cafe Disco is set to open in October – get more info here.
