Telus Tuesday Specials Restaurant #2
I wish Delux will keep its Cuban flare for their dinner menu... I tried really hard to find anything remotely Cuban... aside from the Pressed cubano Sandwich....
I asked my waiter which items on their menu that is close to Cuban cuisine... and he went hmmmmmm ... and said just try the chicken.. since the chef used Achiote and lime as marinade....
Oysters on half Shell ($15)
- great oyster flavour and fresh.. that hint of crisp apple migonette did enhanced the flavour...
- I finished that in record speed... and I want more more oysters!
Salt Roasted Pear ($11)
- I don't know why I enjoy what my date vegetarian option more... maybe I am slowly converted..........
Achiote and Lime Roasted Chicken ($21)
- The chicken was surprising juicy... even the breast area which usually dry turned out to be nice and tender...
- A-OK! But did not Wow me...
Cuban Coffee Creme Brulee ($7)
- Now.. I discover this ongoing pattern.. what your date ordered is always more tasty!!
- Not the best creme brulee I have, but rich and creamy... and yes I was glad that someone nice shared it with me!
- The coffee taste was not really strong... just a hint...
Buttermilk Doughnuts with Chantilly Cream ($7)
- Fresh and Hot Doughnuts... crispy and crunchy on the outside.. soft and warm inside...
- Good tasting as doughnuts.. but they don't really satisfy my sweet tooth
The drinks!! $11 for a Mojito and other cocktails are a little pricey.... I am not surprise when no other tables around us ordered any cocktails, most of them either drink beer or wine...
Will I come back? Maybe for lunch... but I found the dinner menu uninspiring... but I am glad that I came for the Telus Offers!!
BTW, my date was still hungry after eating here with the 3 course meals...maybe Delux knows she wants to be on a diet?
