We then went out for which turned out to be the best meal of the trip and one of the top ones of my life at Ellis Restaurant in Fira, recommended by our property owner. I was sad Mom and Dad weren't with us, they would have loved it also. The pictures don't even come close to doing it justice but here goes anyway.
App#1: Santorinian fried tomatoes. Apparently these are famous. All I have to say is dzam.
App#2: Veal meze. Double dzam. I had to order extra bread when this came and when I was finished, they could have mistaken the plate for a clean one. The sauce was unbelievable - one of the best tasty brown sauces I have ever had - and they were generous with it!!
Glen's main: linguine with chicken in a Dijon cream sauce. Sounds pretty simple but it was great.
My main: grilled chicken skewer swimming in some kind of creamy garlicy wonderfulness.
All this on top of more wine of course. We were so full we couldn't even think about dessert so didn't order any. Then our cutie pie waiter brings anyway, on the house, a vanilla flan (tee hee Envy fans) in a fresh strawberry sauce. I would never order a dessert called that but after it was decimated, this plate also could have been mistaken for a clean one, and yes after I said I was too full for dessert. I was swearing the strawberries in the sauce had to have been local it was so good.
Not a square inch left for even a shot of ouzo. We paid the (hefty but so worth it) bill and rolled ourselves back to the apartment. Good thing it was close!!
It's now 3am and I can't sleep. Wonder why... Good thing I'm not running a marathon tomorrow!
