Like a good lake I have a healthy passion for freshwater fish even if it is not always easy to find restaurants that know how to cook to perfection.
"Al Porto " of Moniga this problem does not arise since they are more than twenty years that the talented owner Wanda Perry has thrilled guests with delicious seafood d ' fresh water.
The restaurant enjoys a wonderful location on the lake, in the small and picturesque port of Moniga. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, the tables are well spaced and the mise en place is essential and treated. The maitre d 'gives us the menu and wine list and, at our request, we recommend a bottle really interesting Ca'Lojera Lugana.
comes the welcome home: pike cooked at low temperature with marjoram on potato mousse, a dish of delicate and indescribable softness, is accompanied by two hot croutons and un'ampollina containing two vials of oil own production. It 'delicious, with a low acidity and a slight fragrance fruit.
The bread basket is really tempting with puff pastry, bread with olives, loaves of bread with walnuts and bread sticks.
As a starter I chose the cube of sturgeon, potatoes, tomatoes, red onions and basil: a simple dish but the extraordinary effect, the fish is tender, almost buttery and achieves the perfect balance flavor thanks to tomato and onion.
For my husband comes to Chub whipped chive polenta with crude bio: great presentation-shaped tower with a layer polenta and a fish. The chub, fish is not easy to cook, is really good and not loses tone and the polenta with the creaming crude creates a pleasing crunchy contrast.
For the second we both voted to tench brunoise oven stuffed with vegetables.
When it comes to dish seems to be in front of a light and tasty roast beef. The texture is delicate but the first mouthful of flavor is released around the lake. Close your eyes and awe we enjoy this goodness to the last bite.
I must admit that I have tasted tench in different places and although I appreciate the taste I've always found it a bit, 'as it were, heavy digestion. After tasting this dish, I realized that the fish was not the problem but the cooking, so I have to thank Wanda for giving me peace with this particular dish.
not order dessert but there is still offering delicious pastries and end on the table does not remain trapped. Price: 105 € for two people
Value for Money : more that good
