We went out to dinner last night. Unclear as to where we wanted to go, we just began walking around downtown. It was a beautfiul evening and there were other people out strolling as well. We walked hand in hand down the cobble stone streets enjoying the light breeze, peeking into the drinking pubs and glancing at menus to spots we haven't yet been. After circling the entire walking area, we decided to eat at VitaFit. VitaFit offers outside seating and an inexpensive menu.
For under $20 we enjoyed a 3 course meal which began with French onion soup. We absolutely love French onion soup and actually make it quite often. We use a chicken broth base to make ours, but most restaurants in the states use a beef base which we don't care for. Excitedly we waited for our soup hoping it was a chicken broth base, filled with large onions, topped with French bread and gruyere chesse! The waitress brought the two bowls out and we thought she brought the wrong soup...it was green!! LOL! Next to the geen soup were two ramekins of small croissants topped with parsley. We laughed but then tried the soup and it was delicious! We are not sure what made it green, but it was made with chicken broth and had cream. We enjoyed it thoroughly...but it would have been better with gruyere cheese on top!
For our entrees we shared a Greek salad and a plate of pork with a forest mushroom cream sauce and potatos. Tiramisu was of course our choice for desert, it is our favorite! VitaFit has a pretty good tiramisu, but it seems that all of the cafes we have tried it in, here in Papa, make it with cake instead of lady fingers. Regardless, we still enjoy it.
We enjoyed dinner for about 2 hours, engaging in conversation, people watching, and just trying to soak in the beautiful environment. After dinner we strolled around downtown again, identifying some shops we haven't yet visited. It was an exceptionally nice evening!
