Grub Club: Lemuria

The Grub Club had another gastronomic adventure at this newly opened restaurant/wine cellar in San Juan called Lemuria. Funny to note is that the chef at this place is the wife of the chef at Bykes Cafe, the place where the Grub Club had our last get together. The restaurant is owned by a German couple whose main line of business is selling German & Austrian wines. It has only been a week since they opened their doors to the public so I was not surprised to note that our group of 18 were the only guests for the evening. All the dishes we ordered were beautifully prepared, although my Mushroom with Gruyere soup was a tad bit salty, I loved my appetizer of Smoked Cheese ravioli and my main course of Herb crusted Prawns with Pasta Negra was very good except for the sauce on the pasta which was a bit too fishy for my taste (I think it was called Uni cream). The desserts were all scrumptuous, we practically ordered one of each on the menu and passed around the plates for everyone to try. The only downside of this place is the price, our meal was definitely not cheap.
