Does Soap Harm Ringworms



Classic, very classic. This restaurant has retained this Loock former French luxurious Venetian blinds, pink tablecloths, dark wood with green jacket and sommelier e cup around his neck. At the door you get the parking and the entrance are the wardrobe with a nice lady who keeps their coats. The Via Veneto has always been distinguished for the excellent treatment they receive but especially now that the maitre d 'Oliveira is Javier feel to all guests who are their best customers. As a touch of modernity that have given the restaurant is that all the letters indicate the price of their dishes. Formerly the letter gave no women including prices, are supposed to never paid. As for the food, do not have any surprises, the dishes are classic, right amount and in my view expensive. If you want to share a dish and bring it to you served in two dishes and their prices are a bit expensive, the average serving of prawns sauteed with crispy vegetable to the pine nut vinaigrette to a serving is € 35.00 if you share charge € 40.00 (2x20). The wine list very extensive and thorough domestic and foreign wines you, especially French wines. Taking advantage of the truffle season in the letter include 2 dishes with black truffles, egg tagliolini with low temperature truffle sauce (€ 42.00) and calaf eggs with potatoes and trio of black truffle (45.00 €) , I tried the truffle tagliolini carrying Huesca and the dish seemed correct but otherwise would have been exquisite truffle. I must not omit to recommend the crepe suzette for dessert, a classic in this restaurant. (For those not wanting to eat much the can share and perfect, see photo).

To see the letter I recommend http://www.viavenetorestaurant.com/ , find it here completely updated. Quick

How To Make A Homemade Sleid

Thai Gardens The Balsa

After dining at this restaurant in Barcelona feel you've been in Thailand. The local atmosphere of near-perfect, candles, soft lighting, the faint smell of incense and the possibility of eating on tables sunken sitting on the floor, reclining on cushions and beautiful triangular bright colors that make up the standard of food . There is a tasting menu at 29 € which allows you to not think much of the choice of dishes and try a little of everything but nothing is particularly good. The starters are better than entrees but nothing to recommend. This restaurant good is the environment, being in a different place and although I am not passionate about Thai food I have eaten in other much better, but the Thaï Gardens is well to go one day.

Toy Story Invitation 3rd Birthday



Very nice, very romantic, full of plants and flowers and a normal meal and face. This may be the sum of the La Balsa. Was built on an irrigation pond that gave him the name. Luis Clotet Oscar Tusquets and won the prize for architecture Fad of 1979 and today we still find a very modern restaurant filled with wood and plants. For me, the only thing worth going to this restaurant is by their environment, in summer it is heavily vegetated terraces that are very cool and pleasant.

In winter, the terrace is covered and eat there a sunny afternoon is a real pleasure. Another advantage of the restaurant is easy parking in the area. Then the letter will detail as is very scarce and you will see the type of food and cooking of high prices. And to begin with, the cover charge is 2.80 per person. For dessert have a dessert trolley with cakes, puddings and fruit, nothing extraordinary, just right. Incoming

Lohri Invitation Words

Melton

Too bad in a place so nice, well lit with comfortable chairs and wide tables did not eat well. The letter from Melton wants to escape the pizzas and Italian cuisine offering level. In my view a letter out of all proportion in which dominate the appetizers and meat and fish are scarce. As for the pasta, but in the letter have 8 dishes I was not attracted to any of them.
While we waited the first dish they brought us hot 3 olives and a slice of bologna per person, aperitif and started badly but got worse with the quality risotto rice was not suitable for the preparation of this dish. None of the dishes we liked it, the best left us indifferent.
The service is poor and the friendliness of the Chef leaves much to be desired.
