We ordered wine and polpettes and were enjoying the delicious potato cakes with a spicy cucumber yogurt sauce when suddenly, SPLAT, an orange fell out of the tree right above my head landed on our table and blew out our candle! Quite a surprise. Just glad it wasn't a coconut!
We thought maybe we might get our dinner free, but alas, no such luck! Maybe if the orange had landed on my head first.
However, the food was delicious. We ate a veggie pizza with spinach, artichoke, white beans and mozzarella served with a lovely rich olive oil with basil and red peppers. The wood oven was made from the original water tank in the building. The owners are from British Columbia and taught there and in Korea before coming to Merida and opening this delightful, intimate restaurant.
He cooks the pizza and she makes all the desserts. When we asked about the night's special, the waiter told us banana cream pie, and I thought that was too ordinary, so I ordered baklava, which I had tried the first time we were here. Wayne ordered the special. This pie was NOT ordinary; it was the best banana cream pie I ever put in my mouth. Needless to say, I shared this huge piece of pie with Wayne, and we took my dessert home for manana.
The baklava comes in a close second. They also offer homemade gelato. Look at all the different flavors. Never enough money or time to enjoy it all.
