A first rate small town restaurant. Not in town but out by the connecting roads - Which makes it more convenient for people to come in from the nearby factories. Draws a good lunch crowd. A dynamite veal stew first course. The veal almost tasted like Brazilian charque - one of their alternative bacons. Full of flavor. A "well aged" fried fish. I am learning not to agonize too much over "fish freshness". A good strong fish tastes fantastic fried. The star of the show was a coffee flan. I don't think too much of flan. But this had more coffee flavor to it than does a Starbucks espresso. (Yeah yeah yeah, that's a low standard. But the flan really did stand up and speak for itself.) * * * One tech footnote. I had little doubt as we left the restaurant, that one of the cook's little secrets was MSG. MSG freaks Americans out. A lot of the rest of the world thinks we are nuts. I am coming in line with the rest of the world on this one. I have no doubt that the bold wonderful tastes I had in lunch were MSG enhanced. And it was one great great great lunch. There is a lot of hidden taste out there that we are missing. Taste is good. read more
