Unlike most of my restaurant visits, this one was spur of the moment. I was out for a walk, luckily accompanied by my faithful dining companion, and we both realised that dinner time was approaching. But onto the dishes. I take my burrata very seriously and I think the best way to enjoy it is at perfect room temperature.
Cold does not do it justice. The canary yellow and lush red cherry tomatoes, though, were superb, clearly not your usual ones. We also shared a Vitello Tonnato, a northern Italian staple dish made of veal loin slices, accompanied by tuna sauce, capers and anchovies.
This one also featured an artichoke and parmesan shavings. Well-executed, but if you divert from the original, you might as well dare a bit more, as the twists did little to enrich the dish. Onto the mains. Among the many more elaborate choices, we chose simplicity. A burger for me and a pasta carbonara for my companion. The burger was outstanding. Sometimes simplicity does workβ¦no convoluted sauces, no complex ingredients β a tired must for many burgers nowadays β bar the creamy camembert.
The meat was also prime quality, as it came from the fine connoisseurs at Columbia in Limassol. The carbonara was, for a lack of better words, basic. And next time, I will probably follow up my dinner with the Mojito New York cheesecake that I saw arriving at another table.
