| - My girlfriend brought me here for a once-a-month reservations-only dinner. It was a 6-course meal featuring garlic. Each course had a tasty wine pairing. I liked all the wines to one degree or another, but I liked the sweet white the most (I don't remember what it was called).
Here is what we ate that evening:
Garlic Croquettas
These were fried, garlicy and gooeyh, and very very tasty. This was my favorite part of the meal.
Sformato of Garlic, Herb Salad and Garlic Chips
This was a custard kind of like flan, with roasted garlic. The garlic chips were thinly sliced garlic fried up. I didn't even realize they were just garlic; I had thought they were garlic-flavored potato chips. They were really good.
Sopa De Ajo, Chorizo and Poached Egg
This was an interesting soup with meat and egg in it. It was really garlicy, and it was fun breaking up the poached egg and mixing it in.
Ravioli of Garlic and Potato, Braised Spring Onions
I didn't taste the garlic as much in the ravioli, but it was still tasty. The spring onions were really good.
Braised Grouper, Garlic Broth, Aioli
The grouper and aioli were really good. The aioli (made from garlic and olive oil) was hand-ground with a mortar and pestle. It was very tasty.
Frutti di Bosci, Garlic Pastry Creme
This was a garlic shortbread with fruit and custard-like sauce. The garlic wasn't very strong at all, and it was a tasty dish. It also had lavender buds on it, which I really enjoyed.
