I have been to Polpo so many times, but it has this magic that keeps pulling me back again and again. This visit was especially meaningful since I came with a guest from France.
Bubbles of the day
They always keep an excellent list.
Dried strawberries
Who knew Korea had strawberries like these.
Baby squid ajillo
A perfect harmony with the bread from Lee Boulanger.
They brought out cuttlefish too
Tomato and clam pasta
An explosion of umami. You really have to try this pasta..
Wild boar bacon
A feast of all kinds of ingredients.
Blue crab rosé pasta
Packed full of crab meat.
Wild boar bacon carbonara
It is best to try every one of the day’s recommendations.
Hanwoo beef carpaccio
What more is there to say..
Wine of the day
The day finally came. It is a truly wonderful wine, but I am not sure it is worth drinking at today’s prices. It has gotten far too expensive..
They even made squid ink pasta for us on the spot.
How grateful can you be..
Wine of the day, part 2
Rum of the day
It is smooth, but whisky suits my taste better after all. I should stock up a lifetime’s supply..
Hard clam pasta
Once the members gather, things gain momentum. We completed the pasta list.
Cheese plate
Dessert
And finally, cake!
Another truly epic meal. You need a gathering like this once in a while.
