From time to time you come across people who really love what they do for a living. This is without doubt the case of the new Corso Restaurant. A brand new restaurant in Santa Catalina. 50 yards from the Aigua Sea School on C/ San Magin.

Victoria and Darko a young couple from Macedonia, represent everything to do with ambition, enthusiasm, and a will to succeed. Darko is a chef with a solid background in the art of cooking. His parents have owned, run & worked in some of the great restaurants in their country and brought him up around food all his life.

We started our meal with a cheese salad which comprised of a stilton called “Port Hole” soaked in a port with avocado and accompanied with a vinaigrette sauce made with cranberries. This was a really fresh and different salad, full of lovely flavours, with the strength of the cheese with the sweetness of the sauce.

We followed this with a fresh trout filleted and covered with ecological sesame seeds which were toasted and burned with a light curry sauce; this was outstanding. All these dishes were accompanied with an Italian wine “Monte Pietroso” which is a smooth light red wine.

Our final savoury dish was a ravioli envelope, a pasta filled with pear and black truffle with a sensation of tastes. Again, a heavenly dish yet simple.

The chef was at all times attentive to our enjoyment and explained the meal plate by plate. We rounded everything off with a freshly made pancake made to look like an envelope and filled with a vanilla ice cream with caramelised apple.

We had a memorable meal full of thought and enjoyment and well worth repeating. We wish the new young owners all the best for the future
