Perching outside while they clear out a few yobs and find me a table.

Inside now.

CHIVITO
6/10

Young goat oven baked with garlic, chilli, dried olives and cognac.

Goat is taking a while. Place is very busy for 8:30. Goat arrives 30s after typing that.

The nondescript plate of goat contained numerous pieces of meat on the bone, and a sea of mild chilli, onion, and possibly barley. The goat itself didn’t have much of a flavour, and the surrounding chilli garnish didn’t add much more than a slight spiciness. The side serve of potato cubes were like soft chips that tasted like pizza shapes. Were I sitting on my couch, and not full of goat, I probably would’ve eaten them all. The warm vegetable salad was much nicer. I left the potato, but dug out the beet and pumpkin, which were heavily seasoned with rosemary.

CHURROS
5/10

Freshly fried pastries served with warm hazelnut chocolate and glazed strawberries.

These are like sticks of slightly more dense doughnut, but a bit crispy on the outside. I dipped them in the chocolate sauce, which was just a very generic chocolate flavour. This dessert ingeniously re-created all the tastes and textures of a $1.20 supermarket chocolate doughnut. Brilliant.
