Another day another Oaxaca Sabe lunch. Yesterday, along with a couple of friends, we celebrated the ## birthday of blogger Chris at Luvina.
The “gifted” birthday boy!
As you can see below, the menu chef Carlos García created was beautifully presented, imaginative and, I can assure you, muy sabrosa. Our first course was out-of-this world, in my humble opinion.
Arroz cremoso con legumbres, calamares y mollejas asadas (Creamy rice with vegetables, grilled calamari and sweetbreads)
Ahhh… Which main course to choose? I chose the rabbit and, naturally, sampled a table mate’s sea bass. Both were delicious.
Conejo chimeco con verduras rostizadas con manteca de pato (Rabbit with roasted vegetables and duck fat)
Robálo al pastor con chichilo negro (Sea bass with chichilo mole)
The dessert got mixed reviews, but I liked the lightness of the brioche. And, yes, the birthday boy’s came with a candle!
Espuma de requesón con bizcocho de pan brioche (Foam of ricotta with a cake of brioche)
It’s somewhat out-of-the way location (off Republica on the block-long Mártires de Tacubaya and across the street from the Kiss the girl goodbye mural) shouldn’t hinder a visit to this light and airy restaurant. By the way, the service was excellent.

Once again, what a presentation!
While Oaxaca has always been known for its street food, it is becoming quite the upscale foodie destination!
On our trip to Oaxaca in 2014, hubby chipped a front tooth trying to eat his way across the city! It is so hard to figure out what to spend your appetite points on.
Oh, yikes!!!
