Drinks and dinner

We had just over an hour to kill before dinner, so we went to a relatively close by cocktail joint that came highly recommended. It had an old fashioned vibe, and was definitely with the expense -- the cocktails were generous pours, the bartenders knowledgeable, and the other patrons amusing.

The hour killed, we made a pit stop back at the hotel to change before heading to Bar Cañete for the best meal of the trip by far, and a bottle of bubbles. The tapas of choice included: Oysters, fresh red shrimp, aged beef, oxtail, spicy octopus, and a spicy meatball. Hard to pick a favorite from that list.

As delicious as the food was, the highlight was probably watching the kitchen staff, which was up to the challenge of a busy night.Leggi altro
