EXQUISITE TASTES!

The TARO is geared to whet anybody's appetite with fresh fish, aged meats and a varied selection of dishes for vegetarians in a relaxing and romantic atmosphere .

Personally, I had a memorable culinary trip to tastes where in the capacity of a Food critic I had the opportunity to meet Adrian Buttigieg the Executive Chef and with his help we arranged a Tasting experience comments of which I have below.

The choice, from the à la carte menu that Adrian and Ryan Galea, the Chef de Cuisine prepared exclusively for us that evening.

On my photos, the intermediate & main course choices are smaller portions as I requested.

Based on my experience, I can't imagine someone not loving this place.


 
AMBIENCE: Pleasant and inviting with a secluded private dining space, Taro is adjacent to the main lobby of the hotel.







 
 

SERVICE: Our whole meal was further enhanced by the superb service!

The staff were very friendly and Mario Farrugia the Assistant F & B Manager gave recommendations on the vast range of drinks available . 

 
Melissa the restaurant’s manager as well as Rodney the F & B Manager would constantly drop by to check if everything was fine.

 
I met the Bar’s Manager Panos Foteiades as well the next day and thought how nice to have a Greek working here!


BEVERAGE: We had a Prosecco Martini for a start and the accompanied wine of our choice was a delightful and refreshing Rosé with fruity tones - the Cabernet Medina Girgentina.





 
STARTERS: The culinary trip started with five in all starters to share, nicely presented on an oblong wooden flat platter, each with its superb flavour and texture. All choices were genuinely delicious!

 
Monkfish and chicken wing, Oyster, seawater pearls with balsamic vinaigrette, local Prawns wrapped in Lardo di Colonatta, Norwegian Salmon gravalax, and Gold Fin Tuna with Vicky Mussles. 
 
In between and over pleasant chat with the Chef, Mario and Melissa, taking photos, having a sip of wine once in a while and having a good time, we had another exquisite dish which I highly recommend .

 


 

INTERMEDIATE: Be sure to try the local Braised Rabbit with Pomme Anna. The most tender rabbit leg I have ever tasted. Thumbs up!


MAIN COURSE: We opted for the Pan-Fried Baracuda fillets with textures of Vegetables. The catch of the day, totally fresh it smelled sea. Flavoursome in every way with a firm texture making every bite mouthwatering!



 
 
DESSERT: As always I requested something light and I had the warm Pear and Blueberry crumble, with Citrus Creamy Vanilla Ice cream, dry mango and Strawberry Gel. Extremely tasty and super yummy!

 
My friend who has a sweet tooth opted for the Dark Chocolate fondant, Berry compote, Almond Ice cream and more . She loved every bite! 


 


 
IN ALL: The Taro restaurant on the other hand, delivers the utmost care of every detail. It is one of those restaurants where you can rest assured that everything will be good. Simply order your favorite and rely on the Chefs.
