WHAT TO EAT

Spanish seafood stew and lobster are recommended in this restaurant.  Several meals are served for more than two people. This restaurant has many famous dishes and it is worth a try and enjoy.

 

Soupe de Potiron

Before eating in the main course,  let's enjoy a bowl of rich pumpkin soup, using the original taste of the pumpkin, but more tempting, the concentration is just right, it is suitable for an appetizer.

 

Paëlla aux Fruits de mer « Valenciana »

In Spain, the city of Valencia is known for the best Paëlla in the country, and also the Boccaccio's Spanish seafood stew. This meal can feed more than 2 people, it comes to the table and kept over a flame to keep the seafood stew hot and fresh.

 

Homard Aux Linguines Sauce Tomate

Replacing machine-made noodles with Italian spaghetti noodles and fresh lemon juice in Italian pasta. Lobster is also very fresh and juicy.

 

You will meet this two things when you eat lobsters. This supplementary cutlery can help you to easily eat lobster meat without using brute force to destroy the hard lobster shells.

 

The restaurant served the whole lobster, it cooks and mixes really well with the sauce. The lobster has been treated first, picking the visceral parts of the lobster, reducing the smell of the lobster, and using the acidity of the tomato to bring out the sweetness of the lobster. It's delicious.

 

Choux A La Crème Au Chocolat

For the dessert is chocolate puff, an ice cream sprinkled with chocolate sauce and chocolate chips. The chocolate taste is accompanied by ice cream.
