A wonderful evening at IL Latina

 ...with the owners of Home Hotel, Tom and Patricia. This is the second "Puerto Serrado" (closed door restaurant) that we have been to with them. What a great evening we had. Lots of laughter and fantastic food

The kitchen is right next to the tables. Immaculate and I want one just like that

The entrance

The entry courtyard

 With Tom and Patricia trying out the chairs

The starter - octopus in a broth with pumpkin

There were five courses, but this was the standout for all of us. Local fish ceviche  with threads of green mango and diced sweet potato

 Pudding was an exotic pannacotta

Looking remarkably coherent at the end of the evening, considering the five courses were paired with excellent Argentinian wine from Mendosa

Mustn't forget the in-house bread which was fabulous - small moist cheese rolls that we couldn't stop eating. I will have to find the recipe for these beauties.

Tom and Patricia have just come back from a trip to Bolivia where they went to 'Gusto' the new restaurant opened by the a co-owner of 'Noma' in Denmark - voted best restaurant in the world for three years running, knocked off it's perch this year by a place in Spain.
