Last night I attended one of the best restaurants I have ever been to.
It was our monthly wine tasting meeting held at Andina's restaurant in Portland, which is a Persian restaurant. If you ever come to Portland, you MUST make this one of your stops.
The food all arrived on platters and we each had a small plate in front of us. The presentation was beautiful.
The first course was Causa Roja, Cebiche de Mango Verde y Langostinos, and Chicharron de Langostinos...my favorite which was Kiwicha-crusted shrimp served with a rocoto-currant sauce.
The Cebiche was also a favorite and SOOO full of flavor. The owner stopped by the table to instruct us how to eat it, just like on Iron Chef. She said to take a piece of the scallop, onion, pepper and sweet potato on one forkful to taste all the flavors together. WOW! It made a huge difference.
There were 3 other courses, each being as spectacular as the next. We had 7 different wines as well.
This is definitely a restaurant I will go back to...many times!
