Ria's Bistro - Albany

A popular lunch spot in the downtown Albany area. They don't have a real website, you have to go through Facebook. They had a full patio when I went on a Friday afternoon. Friendly service and the line wasn't too bad, it doesn't hurt to call ahead. I gotthe Rias Hot Sandwich, the chicken was delicious, great marinade! I'm eager to go back and try more of their menu items.

Very charming, but very small. Probably only seats for 12 people. Or sandwiches were VERY GOOD! My husband's grilled cheese was perfect, and my roast beef with horseradish mayo cheddar on ciabatta was also excellent.

Got a The Palace wrap. Absolutely delicious, well seasoned, hot, and fresh. They have gluten free wraps and bread too. Highly recommended!

I have a The Palace pack. Absolutely delicious, well seasoned, hot and fresh. They also have gluten-free wraps and bread. Very recommended!

This is a special place under the ground dug in view of the Capital Building. The baked goods and breakfasts of the family business are fast and fantastic and offer food for their cozy bistro, outdoor seating along the street and outside just a few minutes walk to exactly where you need to be. Service is fast. I'll come back here until I tried at least one of them.
