Just a day before I fly out, I like to inform you about a new
restaurant in town. Check it out.
SANTORAL – Posada & Restaurant.
This old villa on the beachside was many years abandoned but seems
now renovated and is open for public.
I had no time to check it out, but will do after my overseas trip.
May be you like to visit and give it a try. It is located on the
Rambla Atlantida just 2 blocks from the casino. Have fun and tell me.
We took friends there last Saturday. The building is impressive. The table was nice. The staff were pleasant. The salad that Gundy and I shared was adequate in size and quite nicely put together. Our friends had a dip for a starter. Two friends both chose the beef ancho dish, their daughter chose a Chicken Cesar Salad, Gundy chose the chicken dish, and I chose the bandiola with barbeque sauce. The best of the lot was the Cesar Salad – large, well presented and proclaimed delicious. The ancho beef servings paled in comparison to ones we had enjoyed a day earlier at La Petite Cuisine in Montevideo, and both friends found tough bits in their meat portions. The chicken was fried in some tasteless batter and had no seasonings and was served with „Greek rice“ which turned out to be boiled rice with frozen mixed vegetables, something any Greek would spit out instantly, if it got that far. The pork was fine, but the barbeque sauce appeared to be the equivalent of Kraft BBQ sauce – unimaginative, little flavour, no heat. Four out of five main courses needed vast improvements. The desserts were nice. The prices are not cheap either. We did not have wine.
I was going to write a review on Trip Advisor, but decided to not do so as it would not have been positive and they will need every customer they can get. I can´t see how they will survive the winter. There best eating space is the garden behind, not a winter eating experience. They need to improve the chef quality to have people come past the initial curiosity.
