Bravo Gourmet Sandwich--restaurant Review


It's
always a pleasure to 'discover' an unknown gem and I would give this
small 'sandwich' shop 5 stars except for 3 reasons: 1) I HATE the latest
rage among restaurants of aluminum tables and chairs just as I have
gotten tired of all 'up scale' restaurants having white square plates 2)
there is not full service as one has to place their order at the
register and get their own drink 2) the restaurant is misnamed as it has
many  dinner plates.


I
am not all familiar with Peruvian food and when I came across a deal
paying half we decided to try it. Bravo is in one of those  thousands of
shopping strips in Fort Lauderdale with a bright, attractive window and
the inside pleasantly decorated with one wall completely mirrored and
the opposite wall with pictures of their food.
Not knowing what to
order we asked the hostess/server/cashier to suggest a sandwich and
platter that we can share and she did suggest 2 good items.
We first
had a lechon pork sandwich ($7.50) made of pork, criolla, olive and
rocoto sauce served on an excellent toasted roll and it was very tasty.



Next
we had Lomo Satado ($10.95) made up of beef tenderloin strips sauteed
in onions, tomatoes and French fries served with white rice. The dish
was completely empty when we got finished.


Along
with our meal Allen had a can of Fanta orange soda ($1.50) and I, going
along with the try something new idea, had Inca Cola which was very
sweet.
With tax and tip, before discount, our total was $26,
certainly average for lunch but this was an above tasting lunch and I
recommend it to anyone who has never had Peruvian food or just wants
good food!


We didn't have dessert there as we were on our way to UdderSweets--an ice cream parlour! See my review on another post.

Has aluminum furniture hit your area yet? If not it is coming!!!

That's pretty neat to find a new type of cuisine. I still remember the first time we had a panini at a strip mall restaurant, years before they were discovered by fast food.

I love trying 'strange' foods though you come to realize that most countries use the same items but in different ways!

And an old man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of love all year round!

Speaking strictly for myself!

Sounds really yummy. There is a great little sandwich place near my new library that has a ton of different specialty themed sandwiches. It is awesome!
