| - You can tell that a lot of thought and effort has gone into Candela. Everything from the decor, the chairs and the lighting to the menu's food and beverage options just seem to... fit together, in a way that doesn't mesh quite as well as at other places. Our server was amazing and introduced us to the restaurant's concept as well as sharing his thoughts on which dishes were his favourite.
The Tuna Ceviche wasn't exactly what I expected - rather than small pieces of cut up tuna, each slice of tuna was placed atop a square of watermelon. This made an easy-to-share tapa that we all enjoyed. One of the highlights was the Fennel - which was roasted and topped with goat cheese, pomegranate and orange making it an unusually delicious combination. The Striped Bass, with crispy skin, was well seasoned and served with large saffron israeli couscous. It was one our favourites, although it was a bit more awkward to share, because you had to cut the fish into pieces. The Chicharron, Beets, and Bok Choy were also favourites at the table.
Our only regret is that we didn't have room to try the many other tapas that look incredible.... Oh well, we'll have to be back another time!
