Senor Sweets

NileGuide Expert tip:

They have the best homemade ice creams in town.

Description:

• 
  Long known for their cakes and desserts, Senor Sweets is now lauded as one of the best restaurants on the malecon. The bistro overlooks all the luxury yachts of the marina, offers abundant people watching opportunities, and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their motto is gourmet dining at family prices, and chef Estephanie Pelaez delivers on that promise. The food here is both delicious and artfully presented. Two of their more popular appetizers illustrate this combination of form and function. One is a gorgonzola, pear, and pecan delicately held by a homemade cookie molded in the shape of a spoon, and the other a chicken caesar salad wrapped in rice paper sushi style, arranged in three off-set towers, and drizzled with a delicious caesar dressing. Four course dinners are the norm here, with appetizers followed by salad, pasta or beef, and one of their signature desserts. Their raviolis, either mushroom or lobster, are superb, as is the Kobe Beef petite filet with asparagus and hollandaise sauce, and a Kobe beef French dip sandwich served au jus with potato croquettes. In addition to the standout food, the service at Senor Sweets is also excellent.
