Dare I admit… It took a couple of phone conversations with blogger buddy Chris on Sunday to motivate us to keep our Oaxaca Sabe restaurant-a-day streak going. Who knew it would be so tiring to dine, photograph, and write about diverse and delicious meals???
We decided to rendezvous at Sabina Sabe — a restaurant that we knew nothing about, but was casual and offered interesting menu choices. I chose the vegetarian and, while not on the menu, its starter was a light and flavorful salad.
Mixed greens with apples, figs, and dried cranberries
I love huitlacoche and my main course did not disappoint.
Gratín de papa con huitlacoche y adobo de chile guajillo (Potato gratin with “corn smut” and dressing of guajillo chili)
The meal concluded with a yummy dessert. We spotted the smiling chef Miguel Jiménez in the kitchen as we left and gave him a thumbs up for our delicious meals.
Gaznates rellenos de mouse de almendra con salsa de chocolate amargo (Cannoli stuffed with almond mousse with dark chocolate sauce)
By the way, I gather that Sabina Sabe used to be on the zócalo, however now it is located on 5 de mayo, across the street from Mujeres Artesanas de las Regiones de Oaxaca (MARO) — you can’t miss the building’s aqua color!
Today, there is no question, we WILL be going to our eighth and final restaurant during Oaxaca Sabe. Stay tuned…
