Ann and Craig Addis owners of the specialty fine food emporium Metropulos since 2004 celebrated their fifth year anniversary in business on Sunday May 3. Located on the corner of Yanonali and Santa Barbara Streets in the funk district of downtown S.B. walking distance from Stern's wharf.
The Northern Mediterranean fine-food market contains stainless steel display shelving filled daily with imported dry goods, breads, pastas, olive oils, vinegars and olives. The black and white ceramic tile floors and high arched ceiling and terra cotta walls set the stage for a memorable gourmet treat. Refrigerated glass cases are filled with international cheeses, olives, salads made daily, meats, homemade sandwiches on fluffy foccacia bread from D'Angelo Bakery and custom desserts. Spanish, Italian and California Wines are also available. Metropulus Fine Foods makes one feel like they have stepped into a European city or at least an ethnic neighborhood market in New York, San Francisco or Chicago. You can eat in or eat out and catch some rays on their sun-filled patio.
While Metropolus does not do on-site catering, they do prepare specialty platters for parties year round which are filled with their signature food combinations. Bon Apetito!
