Description:
Removed from the center of the city, Baboo is a modern restaurant with a tranquil energy and a clean feel. Minimalist architecture and a comfortable, contemporary interior design helps guests relax as they enjoy views of the surrounding mountains and the sea. Asian flavors and Mediterranean fusion come together in original dishes elaborated by young Chef Antonio J. Romero, who is a recipient of the Eurotoques Award. Come during lunch when things are faster-paced and try the reasonably priced daily menu alongside golfers and businessmen, or plan an intimate dinner over candlelight. Fresh salads are innovative, like the Saigon Salad with warm Chinese noodles, crunchy rice, scallops, and porcini mushrooms sautéed in garlic oil and mild chili peppers. Mains include variations on Italian dishes, such as the gnocchi with Gorgonzola cheese and salt of Iberian pork belly, as well as seafood recipes like the grilled sea bass with a light ratatouille, mashed potato and baby garlic sauce. Down tempo music and occasional live jazz add to the subtle vibe of this trendy spot.
