Thank heaven for little girls

Last night was, I believe, huge success largely thanks to two vertically challenged ladies. (Oh I am so gonna get stress for this!)

Firstly Hazel - the small lady with the big personality & voice of an angel. She played two sets & I could see that she was a great success & it was very gratifying to see so many new people enjoying her music.

Secondly my very own Graf Spee (pocket battleship), Louise - as always her cooking was fantastic & the fish & chips went down a treat. However, it was Louise's homemade ice cream that elicited the most "ooh's" & "ahh's". I think we're onto a winner there, especially as she's planning some interesting flavoured ice creams ...

Of course none of this would have meant anything without customers to enjoy it. So our biggest "Thank you" goes out to everybody who joined us last night, especially those of you who brought your friends along for the first time. We really do appreciate it!

Fish & Chips tonight

We've got plenty booked for fish & chips, but we've also a few portions spare. So if you haven't booked but want fish & chips we suggest you arrive early.

Don't forget we've also got live music with Hazel from about 6.30ish.

We've been busy at The Restaurant


Louise has been busy making her own vanilla ice cream for use in our Ice Cream Sundaes. The verdict from those who've tried it is YUMMY! She's also working on other flavours, some with alcohol in hehehe.

Friday night we're serving Fish & Chips
we've already got confirmed bookings & suggest that if you don't want to be disappointed you contact us if you want us to ensure your meal.

Also on Friday we are helping a friend celebrate her birthday & Hazel will be dropping by with her guitar to sing a few songs for us all. It should be a busy, fun night.

Here's our food offerings for the next few days:


Chicken Basket
A whole chicken breast fillet on a bed of lightly spiced vegetables baked in the oven in it's own foil basket
served with either pasta or couscous
RD295
-
Mince & Tatties
This is proving popular with the Scottish contingent ;)
RD295
-
Bangers & Mash
Three English sausages with a generous portion of creamed potatoes with Louise's delicious onion gravy
RD250
-
Build Your Own Omelette
You choose the fillings & number of eggs we do the hard work!

We also have our new Bar Snack Menu of light snacks or appetisers & our aforementioned Ice Cream Sundaes to finish your meal or just to give yourself a treat :-)

Enjoy your week

Believe it or not

I didn't marry Louise for her cooking ... if you buy me a drink I might tell you why, but talk about a hidden bonus!

Tonight I had Bangers & Mash with Onion Gravy & WOW! I'd forgotten how good Louise's gravy is.

In fact it's soooo good that I've made an Executive Decision - Bangers & Mash with Onion Gravy henceforth will be on the menu permanently at The Restaurant ......... yes it really is THAT GOOD!

Why not drop by & find out for yourself ...

A Reassuring Story

Last night I was chatting with a customer & he told me this true story.

One night, after a long day in & around the bars in Costambar, rather than drive his motorcycle home he left it at the beach & caught a taxi home.

Upon his return the following day his motorcycle was gone.

A couple of days later he spotted his motorcycle parked at the main entrance gate to Costambar. Upon questioning the guards he discovered that they had seen his motorcycle parked at the beach & taken it to the gate for safe keeping!

Now I KNOW the police back in the UK wouldn't even think of doing that.

Another reason we love it here in Costambar

The Restaurant is delighted to announce our new Bar Snack Menu.

We are aware that some people don't want a large meal, but may still get peckish during the evening, so we designed our Bar Snack Menu to fulfill this need. You may also order these items as an Appetiser with your meal.

All the following are available with either Louise's Tangy Lime Mayonnaise or Home-made Marinara (spicy tomato) Sauce included in the price:

Garlic Bread Roll 
a bread roll from Costambar's own bakery served hot from our oven oozing with Louise's fresh garlic butter
RD75

Breaded Mozzarella Sticks 
a generous serving of local mozzarella coated in Italian-style breadcrumbs & fried until crisp & golden
RD95

Mini Meatballs 
Louise has created unique meatballs for us which are surprisingly filling & flavoursome. Don't let their size fool you!
RD125

Available tonight & every evening from 6pm.

It's Burger Night

Tonight only & by special request Louise is making burgers. Not just any old burgers mind you, but burgers with a difference.

Ziggla Burger with Carggy Relish & Carolina Slaw on the side.

The last time Louise got creative with burgers my tastebuds thought they’d died & gone to heaven, so if you fancy “burger nirvana” you know where to be tonight.

P.S.
We will still have our regular menu available.

For those with a sweet tooth

Louise & I were throwing ideas around for non-alcoholic chillers & came up with this old classic

CocaCola Ice Cream Float

A tall glass of Coke with a vanilla ice cream float ........ very sweet & cool for just RD80!

A chance to re-live your youth perhaps?

Sultry September

We've reached the time of the year when the heat & humidity are ramping right up so we figured it was about time the menu at The Restaurant cooled down - in other words there will be fewer spicy dishes on the menu for a while.

Here's our menu for today


Seabass Louise
Juice mero filet wrapped in bacon & served on a bed of fresh vegetables with potatoes & Carolina Slaw
RD295
-
Vegetarian Pasta
Served with a homemade garlic roll
RD295
-
Sweet & Sour Pork
Tender strips of pork in Louises' special pineapple & tangy vegetable sauce served on a bed of egg noodles
RD295

As always we have our fabulous Ice Cream Sundaes to finish your meal - or help you cool down! - & Speciality Coffees too.

Enjoy your week.
We hope to see you soon
Mark & Louise
