Back to 3Sixty!

Friday night dinner summary

Hello!

We headed down to town (which literally is something like three long flights of stairs, which Robert HATES doing! [I don’t mind going down; it’s the up part that hurts. – R]) a little after 6 pm.  I wanted to make sure that I hit Liz’s Cupcakes before they closed for the night.  The street it and a recommended restaurant were on was truly at the bottom of the steps. 

Cheese/bacon straws

We just had to turn right.  Lovely street, lined with restaurants and shops, many still open, although most of the restaurants not yet open for dinner (Europeans, as we know, liking to eat later than we “early” Americans.) 

Found the proposed restaurant first and it looked a bit small and cramped to both of us.  (And I’m not sure, but I believe the proprietor was smoking at the “family” table inside.)  Then found Liz’s.  It’s a very cute shop – lots of pink, and they even had a few cupcakes left. 

CUPCAKES!

We bought three, as well as a little bag of meringues that looked interesting.  Then, as we were heading out, I suggested that we might want to try 3Sixty again, as their salad menu look really good, and not at all as prehistoric as the slab of pork R had on Thursday.

Also, we knew the place would be open and smoke-free, which are two BIG selling points, for sure.  In we went, and were seating quickly.   

This time, we ordered an appetizer – cheese and bacon straws, again in dough wrappers.  The chef obviously likes that concept, which is fine with us.  Our basket of four cheese/bacon straws (the size of spring rolls!) came out quickly, with a sort-of BBQ sauce for dipping. 

R's salad with veggies and grilled cheese

My salad of rocketta, parmesan and prosciutto!

Very good!  Then, for mains, I had their salad with rocketta (arugula) and parmesan and some lovely prosciutto on top.  R had their veggie salad, with lots of wonderful lettuces, spinach, sun dried tomatoes and grilled cheese slices.  We both ate every bite.  It was SO good to just have SALAD for a change!  We washed everything down with a lovely bottle of Gewirtztraminer, made locally in Greece.  It was excellent!  

Then, back up all those stairs and we’re in for the night!  Oh, and I tried one of the cupcakes for dessert once we got back to the room.  It was a bit stale, really, and certainly not the best I’ve had – but as R says, it’s probably the closest cupcake for hundreds of miles, so I enjoyed it!

More later!
