Beef and Ostrich and Llama, Oh My!

Saturday night I went out with my coworker, Denise. I was in the mood for steak, so after a couple drinks at her apartment, we went to the Zig Zag Restaurant. This restaurant is located in a two-story colonial house made of sillar (white volcanic rock) with a straicase designed by Gustave Alexandre Eiffel himself.

Denise and I started off with an appetizer of quinoa and shrimp:


Followed by quinoa gnocchi for Denise:


And the trilogy of stone-cooked meats for me (the house specialty). Included was beef, local South African farm-raised ostrich, and llama. It was delish and it the spot! (Note: the large bib was to protect my new alpaca sweater from the sizzling stone meat).




After dinner, Denise and I went to a new bar for one of her friend´s going away party. This place was really cool with a good mix of music, including reggae.






And later we went to the Rock Forum for some dancing. Apparently, the clubs stay open as long as there are customers (?), so this place was still hopping when we left at 3am!
