Every so often, we pig out and eat till we can't fit another morsel of food in our mouths. Luckily it does not happen to often because even though it is a joy to have a good appetite, it is torture to eat till the stomach is almost to bursting point and still resist the urge to vomit.
We visited a new restaurant El Sabor on Victoria St in North Melbourne. We had bought one of their 9 course degustation sets for $59 per couple. These are 8 of the 9 dishes we ate, with the most memorable being the beef cigars (crispy!) and churros (the melted chocolate was just awesome).
We really liked the friendly service from the lovely waitresses who spoke Spanish and the delicious food. Some of the dishes did have recurring ingredients which I got a little tired of, but cannot complain because the restaurant needs to turn out dishes as quickly as possible for these types of deals. For example, corn chips made two appearances first on its own with dips then as nachos topped with guacamole, melted cheese and sour cream. And guacamole and tomato salsa made many an appearance either on top of a dish or on the side as dip.
This is a restaurant where the food was good, and we certainly ate till we were about to burst!
