Before dessert, a gourmet cheese plate arrived and we
washed it down with a lovely dessert wine with an apricot bouquet.
Speaking of dessert, I opted for another renown Cibreo
item -- the flourless chocolate cake.
We also grazed on a dessert selection of
cheese cake, chocolate flan and something that -- at least to our
hillbilly-rooted tongues -- tasted like gourmet ice cream cake. Flawless
espresso capped off dessert.
The prices, per person are roughly: first course, 20 euro, second course 36 euro,
cheeses 10 euro and dessert 15 euro.
Obviously, when you add a large bottle of
sparkling water, a bottle of fine wine, dessert wine and espresso, you can add
another nearly 80-100-plus euro to the bill.
We can only afford such extravagance once a year, but in
our opinion, Cibreo is worth every penny.
