Papas Calientes ($18) is a hearty dish of potatoes three ways: mashed with creamy
ricotta, in crispy croquette form and as a foam. Mustard cress and parsley add some
lightness, but underneath the greens, this is pure comfort food.
Tres leches ($13), a super moist sponge cake drenched in three different kinds of milk
(evaporated, condensed and cream), is one of my all-time favourite desserts. There’s a
creative twist to this version, as it’s also topped with a piece of shortbread, coconut ice
cream and a graham cracker crumble.
The shortbread and crumble contribute a good, contrasting textural crunch to the cake,
while the ice cream adds a fun tropical dimension. It’s an excellent, refreshing take on
tres leches, and paired with an espresso, is a perfectly satisfying end to this meal.
