It does sound like you solved the lacklustre desserts perfectly though, and I'm quite sure I'd enjoy some of the cheesecake against soy ice cream. I love the sound of your quinoa croquettes too. This sounds like a fantastic place to have to return to over the years.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-4317230650760930062015-02-04T20:06:40.821+11:002015-02-04T20:06:40.821+11:00From the outside it looks like a lovely cosy resta...From the outside it looks like a lovely cosy restaurant.
