Only few minutes away from the hustling and bustling Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, this little gem of a restaurant is surprisingly peaceful and intimate. Between the cozy interior and the very pretty backyard (festively decorated with Mardi Gras beads), it’s the ideal spot for a romantic date, to properly catch up with a friend, or for a special “me time” pamper session.
And then there’s the food… a blissful marriage of Creole and South American cuisine officiated by Chef Vanessa Cabrera of East Village's 5C and the National Gourmet Institute. The founders, Holistic Health Counselors Luis Salgado and Tere Fox, created the restaurant in their respective images: he’s a musician and nutritionist from Peru and she’s a stylist from New Orleans. Ps: they’re married. So the food…is light, exotic, spicy, nutritious, elegant, and possibly aphrodisiac. It’s also earth friendly, with ingredients coming from the weekly McCarren Park’s farmers’market and from organic distributors for non-local ingredients such as maca and lucuma.
And if you have no idea what to pick from, you can also ask and the waiter will very aptly and kindly guide you (the waiter was as delightful as everything else there).
