Root Less Been meaning to try this since I first spotted it some months ago: I shouldnt have dithered, its a delight! Firstly the most charming, kind and helpful family hosts you could imagine who clearly genuinely care so much about making sure you are happy. And with this food, who wouldnt be happy? Started with possibly the best empanadas I have ever tasted (and my waistline testifies that I have worked through very many, including in Latin America): melting flaky pastry enclosing soft potato and tasty beef brisket accompanied by a delicious chimichurri. I chose the Ecuadorian ceviche which was not on the menu but suggested by the waiter. It consisted of prawns in a zingy fresh broth with lime juice, tomato, thinly sliced onions accompanied by plaintain chips and popcorn. Some habanero hot sauce added some heat and I cleaned the ample dish. I enjoyed this with a lovely fresh mango and milk smoothie. And the delight didnt finish with the food - menu prices are very reasonable but the Ecuadorian ceviche turned out to be £5 cheaper than the Peruvian one: I would have happily paid the £20 on the menu but they insisted on charging only £15. What lovely people making food full of love, albeit in fairly plain surroundings but I cant wait to go back and continue working my way through the entire menu.
