Wadja is a country style bistro that was down the street and around the corner from our hotel. We originally wanted to make a reservation but unfortunately the nice French man at Reception was replaced by a woman who did not speak English and couldn't understand my attempt at French. Instead of wasting time, we just decided to head over to the restaurant early and hope to get a table. And by early, it was 8pm. The French eat late.
The restaurant is really quaint, with a super cute old couple that ran the front. The menu is written on a chalk board and is brought to your table.
House red wine and complimentary olives
Cat got the 22 euro 2 course special. Started with an average asparagus soup and finished with the veal with capanata, basically a mix of eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes and etc almost pickled with white wine vinager. The main was delicious.
Can you guess what this is? Lamb brains with braised cabbage, tomatoes and capers in a lemon vinagrette. Ron was a bit more adventurous than I was. The dish was surprisingly good! The brain had a really soft texture and grossed you out a bit if you thought about it. But if you didn't know what it was, it was actually quite tasty. The sourness from the lemon vinagrette and the saltiness of the capers really brought the dish together.
Ron's main of John Dory in a broth. The broth was alright but it was nicely presented.
I'm not sure if the food was pretty good or the fact that this was our first proper meal since landing in Europe. Well, if you don't count cake, macarons, baguette and cheese.
