A Decadent Six-Course Saturday Lunch Tasting Menu For Just €25 Has Landed In Valletta
Call me a drama queen, but what I’m about to tell you will change you life. Well, definitely your Saturdays.
Capo Crudo have very recently launched a luxury AF six-course tasting lunch menu available on Saturdays only… and at €25, it’s as good as it is affordable!
When I saw the price, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.
Then I obviously had to try it out.
First of all, we need to talk about the views. If this isn’t the perfect backdrop for a Sat lunch, then I don’t know what the hell is.
OK and now for the food.
A delectable amuse-bouche
To whet the appetite and start your culinary journey.
First Starter: Swordfish carpaccio
A delicate dish which deserved compliments to the chef. The mix of ingredients really added to the playfulness of textures!
Starter two: Veal sweetbread fritters with smoked eel salad.
The combo of smoked eel and offal-y good veal sweetbread caused an explosion of flavours that lingered on.
Pasta dish: Spaghetti vongole
Simple, aesthetically-pleasing and perfectly-cooked. No complaints on my end…
Main Course: Beef short rib with pomp puree, glazed onions and jus bordelais
One of the most tender slabs of beef to have ever passed these lips. Definite proof that the chef knows exactly what he is doing.
The beef literally broke apart at the tiniest touch of the fork. Exemplary cuisine.
Plus, it’s practically art on a plate!
Dessert: Cannoli Siciliani
The crunchy and creamy cannoli in a bite-sized portion was a fab way to end the meal (let the food coma commence)!
I have no doubt in my mind that you will thoroughly enjoy your experience from start to finish should you try Capo Crudo’s new Saturday lunch menu.
All this for only €25? That’s usually the price for one of their mains on any other day (still worth it)!
Did I mention that they also have superb oysters (four kinds, including a gold and silver one) and serve pasta out of a cheese wheel?
Thanks Capo Crudo, I will be inside you again very soon!
