I had the most wonderful lunch today at a little mediteranean bistro!
The atmosphere was classy but still casual and comfortable. They set the tone with goegeous red table settings, cute candle holders and faint authentic music playing in the background.
The lighting was perfect, my waitress was a resfreshing burst of energy & the food was out of this world. I think I had a divine experience, similar to the ones from Eat pray love. THAT is exactly what I have tried to embrace and it's the type of life I want to continue living. Fresh food, lovely ambiance and the feeling as if you've been transported to an exotic destination.
I am still swooning. Okay so my lunch is pretty much the only thing I will be eating today because there was so much to choose from and I couldn't resist!
I started with a glass of water with extra lemon & then I had a pepsi with my main.
I shared two appetizers : Tyrokafteri Dip - a feta and roasted red pepper spread served with fresh warm pita bread & mythos mussels - steamed in greek beer, lemon and a fresh garlic cream
My entree was a lamb and spice stuffed grape leaf (just one) on the side of a chicken and chorizo whole wheat penne with bright fresh veggies, a spicy tomato sauce and manchego cheese.
I really didn't have any room for dessert BUT who can turn down herbal tea, deep fried cheesecake & baklava??
My friends are too kind to me.
