So last night we met up with our dear friends at a place called Cielo's, which was on the beach in White Rock. It has such a cozy, dark room with a fireplace, and a fun fish tank...the atmosphere is quite lovely. It got packed up quickly, so you must make a reso there! I haven't been in many years, but was happy to see their famous bruschetta was still on the menu. It is almost worth the trip out just for that, as it is seriously awesome, with their twist of blue cheese, oven dried tomatoes and house made balsamic glaze...delish. We didn't order it last night, because I am back on my cleanse for a while...and there were so many other dishes to try..that does tend to fill you up!
This is a tapas resto, so fun to go with another couple, or a group to share a few different items. Their wild mushroom risotto was fabulous! Tender, chunky mushrooms and wonderful flavours wrapped into a beautiful creamy rice. Their lamb Popsicles were also very nice (although not the best I have had), but came with the most fun and yummy house made naan bread...it was spicy and sweet at the same time and was a perfect dipper for the curry sauce.
Because I am also not eating shellfish or raw fish at the moment I didn't get a chance to sample the Tuna trio, which had a lovely presentation of ahi tunas done in three different styles...it looked awesome.
Ivan really enjoyed the king crab fondue...and it looked so much fun....a social must amongst buddies...any type of fondue is such fun to share. The presentation was lovely, and the crab looked tender and wonderful...Ivan said the meat was easy to remove and tasted really nice dipped into the artichoke, cheese and spinach hot pot!
There were so many other delicious items to order...buckets of mussels, all of the flat breads sounded scrumptious, and don't forget the oyster bar.
I think this is a great place to meet up with friends, or have a cozy, romantic evening a deux...so next time you are in White Rock, saddle up at Cielos and enjoy!
