Hello my sweet ladys and gentlemen,
Have you ever been to a "Flying Tapas" restaurant? Well, me neither until yesterday.
Now you might ask: What even is a "Flying Tapas" restaurant? Now, such a restaurant is the most amazing thing in the world. They don't only have super delicious tapas (which are little spanish snacks and finerfood of its finest) but there are waiters "flying" around with huge trays full of different kinds of tapas. The restaurant was called "Terneria" and it is situated in the old town with a terrace by the water.
So let me just give you a hint of the divine treats we ate...
Let me start with the amazing drinks. We had an excellent Caipirinha and then a so called Liquido which basically consists of quince juice, fresh lime juice, mint and soda. I have never had such a combintion but let me tell you that it was so so good and sweet and sour in taste. Very refreshing!
To eat, we first had some Baguette with fresh aioli dip and some green and black olives. Then, the first waiter came and we picked some grilled dates that were wrapped in delicious, crispy bacon. At this point they defeniteley got me hooked already.
After that, another waiter came by and we picked some thinly sliced roastbeef that was perfectly pink in the middle and as soft as a Baby's bottom so that it literally just melted in my mouth and it was sprinkeled with grilled chanterelles and basil pesto...fireworks in my mouth.
Oh dear mother of tapas could it get any better, might you ask?! Defeniteley yes!
Later we ate the most transcendent butterfly shrips on a bed of a magnificent spicy and fruity tomato salsa. These shrimps were crispy and golden brown on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. In combinatin with the salsa it was just heaven on a plate.
After several more delightfully delicious little canapés we decided to round it all up with a dessert.
They offered either "crema catalana" which is basically a spanish crème brullé and "crema chocolate".
We both went for the "crema chocolate" and let me tell you here, we were not disappointed at all. The dessert was very rich, perfectly sweet and chocoatey, topped with whipped cream and caramelized almonds.
My resolution after my first ever "Flying Tapas" experience? Mind blown. If you schould ever get the chance to visit such a restaurant, defeniteley do it. You won't be disappointed.
