Bruschetta featuring soft egg whites on a bed of whole-grain mustard and spring onion greens with a pop of pickled onions. And a Mediterranean version with colourful zucchini with artichoke hearts and baby tomatoes on a bed of herb pesto with just a hint of brie. If our mouths weren't watering already the Flatbread Verde with the Pesto base with olives, zucchini, cheese and ricotta mousse ( a chef's indulgence) followed by the flourish of two smoking domes full of cream cheese and cheddar respectively, with crackers, green apples, smoked paprika, and further accompanied by jalapeno and olives and a divine cranberry relish.
My favourites were the fresh Salmon with asparagus on a bed of cauliflower puree, followed by a surprisingly light Poached chicken with creamy mustard sauce. The lamb ragu sauce that circled the spinach and ricotta Gnudi also deserves a mention in the feast we enjoyed, but more than that, the presentation was truly a feast for the eyes. Pretty Venetian plates decorate the walls. And beautiful Venetian bacari style food decorates the tables.
There was a smattering of other things like Pork chorizo croquettes, Aubergine ravioli with a tomato consomme, Pepperoni flatbread and a beautiful Goth Aglio Olio which was jet black pasta made of activated charcoal. All to be enjoyed with a truly Lemon lemonade or an Iced tea, or one of their many juices.
And I would be amiss to not mention the sweet part of the meal. A trio of homemade ice creams with peanut butter and choco chips, dark chocolate and caramel options inside a bread sandwich (though I liked the ice cream just by themselves) and a Signature Chocolate and Fudge nut Sausage made of sliced discs of fudge which we dipped in coffee and nibbled on green apple slices in compliment
They have a bar menu as well for those want to pair a wine or aperitif to be authentic to the "bacari" experience!
Overall a food coma ensues from the staggering variety. Make sure you go with lots of people if you want to explore the menu properly. But with the small plates concept, I can totally imagine going back for a date night option as well.
