Yummy Cafe Paradiso

★★★★☆ Another successful meal in Café Paradiso last night, to celebrate getting a contracting job due to my imminent redundancy!
I had roasted globe artichoke with a tasty Knockalara sheep’s cheese and pinenut filling; basil aioli, a potato tortilla, and courgettes with cherry tomatoes & basil. I’m not much of a courgette person, but these were delicious, the nicest I’ve ever had – small, firm, cut lengthways and, according to the waitress, panfried. Sam had a tasty dish as well: feta, pistachio & couscous cake with sweet & hot pepper relish, sweet-spiced kale, coriander yoghurt, and chickpeas with fresh chilli & tomato.

We were tied on the mains, but I won hands down on the dessert! Poor Sam ordered a very plain poached pear in ginger with an almond tartlet, in itself lovely if that’s what you like, but “hot fruit” is not in her top ten. Mine on the other hand was unassumingly called limone Paradiso, it was a treat of lemony miniatures: horn with mascarpone, tartlet, sorbet, and baked alaska. Class!
