Actually, it was great, great food. . . We headed out last night to see about some food. Here in Buenos Aires, restaurants don't typically open until around 7 p.m. or so, as dinner time is between 9 p.m. and later. . . The place that we did want to go to was closed at the time (this was a bit before 7) so we headed on down to a bunch of restaurants that we had found earlier.
We stumbled upon a placed call Al Carbon.
Man, oh man, what a great place. We stuffed ourselves silly and enjoyed every piece.
Once again, our eyes were larger than our stomachs, but we managed to put nearly everything away.
We started with:
Stuff mushrooms with a white cream sauce;
Breaded camembert cheese with basil and tomato sauce;
A green salad with a honey mustard/vinegar dressing;
A piece of pork sausage (that blended with the cheese very, very well).
For the main course:
Beef medallions with dijon mustard/pepper sauce;
Spinach-stuffed ravioli (this was OK, while the other dishes were outstanding);
For dessert, we managed to get down:
Caramel tiramisu;
and fontane de chocolate (which we thought would be a cake with fudge drizzled over the top. It was actually a hard chocolate shell -- like a peanut butter cup -- filled with caramel dulce and chocolate filling and a strawberry garnished on the side).
One of the better meals we have had in a long, long time.
