Chesa food

praised
From page 23
vide a full meal.

Chesa’s wine list is small.

. Bottles range from $14 to $20,
with some reasonable selections
available.

Table Hopping staff, feeling ina
jug wine mood, tried a ¥% litre of
Sebastiani Burgundy ($8.50),
which was quite congenial for the
price.

Service at Chesa is swift, and the

second incarnation of the Chesa
seafood offspring of the original
Chesa is re-establishing itself as a
favorite among locals.

Chesa’s bread plate provided in-
itial indication that the restaurant
prefers to leave well-slagged culi-
nary trails to less imaginative
kitchens: warm banana bread ac-
companied fresh crusty French.

Also sampled in the opening
round was a special Smoked Fish
Plate ($5.95), which was very

good,
Colorfully appointed, it provided

a good range of food flavors and
textures, with slices of smoked
salmon and trout alternating atop
butter lettuce and a soya sauce
and Balsamic vinegar vinaigrette.

The salad was framed by pale
yellow endive, two chilled prawns
over tamb leituce covered in fresh
chopped peppers, a leaf of red
radicchio and a central eye of
purple onion.

It was as refreshing as it was in-
teresting. Restrained use of dress-
ing allowed the subtle smoked
salmon and trout flavors to speak
for themselves.

Entrees sampled: Prawns in a
Pernod-flavorest herb sauce ($9.95
for main course size) and Maui
Ribs ($7.95).

Acentral vegetable plate for the
table included two baked tomato
halves with pureed sweet potato
centres, snow peas and baked
potatoes carved into mushroom
shapes.

A side of shoe-string French fried
potatoes came with the ribs.

The prawn dish included a
dozen medium-size, sweet prawns
in a cream Pernod combination
with blackened sesame seeds
sprinkled atop and garnished with
a lace of purple onions.

Prawns always do well by Per-
nod, and the addition of chopped
peppers added extra visual and
saporous appeal — a simple,
classic dish for seafood and good
food fans alike. .

The ribs provided good food
value for the money: three layers
of beef ribs, somewhat fatty, but
with overt teriyaki-style flavors of
garlic, soya sauce, ginger and fresh
cracked black pepper, which
might be a touch loud for the
diner with a more subtle palate.

They came garnished with a
sprig of endive and slices of can-
taloupe and orange.

For dessert we tried a special
crepe stuffed with chopped can-
taloupe and strawberry ($4.95),
which was decorated with a pink
strawberry mousse, bright yellow -
peach coulis, cassis hearts and a
sprig of red mini.

It provided a light and refreshing
note upon which to finish.

Chesa Seafoed and Grillis well
worth a visit for seafood and just
plain food aficionados —
reasonably priced and artistically
presented fresh food from land

and sea.
