Dinning Out. Lost for Choice?
Many people look in the mirror and promise that today they will not indulge in that delicious, sweet, aromatic bun. Then they do not promise themselves that today there will be not one extra crumb nor one extra calorie consumed then required. Do you think they are gluttons? No since these are gourmets!
This is what I think from the greatest glutton, according to my friends. No I don't suffer from excess weight; it's even the opposite since I ought to gain a couple of kilograms. In spite of this, I can never pass by a cafe or restaurant from where delightful aromas waft by tempting me I in. Moreover if there is an atmosphere suiting your mood then the dish, will be even more enjoyable.
Oh, no, I won't be talking about excess weight, healthy and unhealthy food, nutrition routines and other problems. I think that people who share my opinion will be found amongst the readers of TOT with whom I would like to share my impressions about restaurants of Tashkent.
Well if you do not rank yourself among gourmets then this information will be very useful when you decide to visit any restaurants in Tashkent. In the bustle of daily affairs, in the urban noise and civilization break-through we want to turn back time now and then.
Women want to receive courting from gallant cavaliers, to feel like true ladies, and men wish to contemplate charming ladies at the balls held by the royals at court. You can always acquire the charm of such evenings at the "Baron" restaurant. The alpine style in which the interior and front of the restaurant is carried out will leave no one indifferent. The candles, burning fireplace and of course the live music will give a special coziness to the evening.
This is an ideal place for family celebrations, business or romantic meetings. Here you will be offered the best recipes of European cuisine and during 4 months two German chefs served the restaurant while the cooks of "Baron" were being trained in Germany. Refined dishes amongst which there is "Tsar Fish" (pike perch, stuffed according to a special ancient recipe, richly trimmed when served) will be supplemented with delicate wine, Czech beer and "Baron" vodka.
TOT recommends you to try the dishes made by the recipe of uncle Otto. Order "Elebroud soup" as the first course since it is made with a base of dark and light types of beer by an ancient Swiss recipe. It will be served with crispy cheese toasts made from brown bread while the second course "Bavarian pork", smoked pork, which is fried, served with garlic butter and German stewed cabbage. From the salads range it is recommended to choose "Light-Porter" in which we hope you will appreciate the combination of "Edem" cheese with boiled sausage dressed with mayonnaise.
As for the children they will love "TutH frutli" exotic fruits under vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate. The hospitable "Baron" is always waiting for you and I promise that you will not be disappointed having visited this luxurious restaurant. If twilight, torch and candle light is to your liking and if you wish to be absorbed by the world of medieval taverns, to please you your heart with the sounds of Spanish guitar and stir up your soul with the passionate flamenco dance then you have to visit the "Barcelona" tavern.
Here you will be overwhelmed by the flavor of wines and captivated by the taste of Spanish dishes. Order "Beef in tequila" and we are sure you will remember the bitterish orange after taste of the fiery meat for a long time. As soon as the sound of heels and castanets are heard, two charming young men will appear in front of you. With these sounds your entire mind, your heart, body and soul will be possessed by the dance of passion and fire "Flamenco".

We wish you to spend an unforgettable evening in the only Spanish restaurant in Tashkent "Barcelona", and let guitar resound in your heart forever.
What can we say, tastes are different. Some like aromatic buns, some hot, spicy dishes and some eat only vegetable food. As for me I think that in order to survive in the urban jungle, one must be a predator, i.e. eat meat. This is why we are continuing our excursions of the restaurants right into "Brand 910".
This restaurant is for the lovers of progress, substantial and a cheerful life. In autumn fish will appear in the menu but right now you will be offered chicken and most importantly meat, meat and a lot of meat. House specialties under the name of Brand 910 look like this: first course soup: a very interesting and rich combination of pork, pineapple, field mushrooms and green salty tomatoes with Tabasco and Chili sauces. Second course double schnitzel with mushrooms and cheese is an original, beautiful and delicious piece of artistry.
Well, if your sights are for a fire which is your liking then order a steak with pepper basted with cognac and let everything blaze in blue flames. Even the salad of 910 is with meat. Yes, vegetarians have nothing to do here. After such a meaty meal it is very good to sip the 910 cocktail (it is prepared separately for men and women) and enjoy the beautiful striptease in the upper hall of the restaurant.
Cafe Darvish prepares for the non-vegetarians splendid lamb ribs and you will be treated to a dessert and water absolutely for free to boot. If for some reason you will not like the dish then this will have no affect whatsoever on your bill (it is free) though I doubt that this will happen. Here, national dishes are marvel-ously cooked and the design of the restaurant in the style of buildings from Khiva will give a special taste to the dishes. I think that for the first time my notes will be enough for you and the rest will be an adventure of discovery.
As for now I wish you Bon Appetite urban predators.
