Oh no - disappointing meal. don't you hate wasting a meal on "international food"!

 Can you guess what this might be?  Go on, I dare you, stretch your mind above and beyond the more "inventive" dishes you're seen on the invention test on MasterChef.......

one of the more bizarre combinations i've ever eaten but i took the advice of the house and went with the house speciality.  squid ink pasta with "beef ragout" served in a cream sauce.  pasta thick and chewy, "ragout" aspirational, cream sauce was pleasant so I just ate that after trying 1 piece of ravioli

this is the other house special.  Presented as Parmesan Risotto on the menu.  supposedly veal marinated in wine and then braised for hours.  tasted like it was grilled and then drizzled with reduction.  couldn't taste the parmesan (or in fact anything) in the rice which was uncomfortably chewy.  parmesan crisp was nice.



Luckily the company was great and the wine flowed freely.  I raided the mini bar once we got back to the room.  Pringles. Yum!
