Last week we visited Sardegna. We stayed in a lovely hotel right by the sea, ate our way through various restaurants in Cala Gonone, enjoyed a lovely, clean, warm sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favourite spot to eat was discovered on the very first day, which wasn’t difficult, as it was right next to the hotel, ristorante “Il pescatore”. It seemed like a family run joint, with a lady in charge of a young team. My first taste of pane carasau, which they seem to serve everywhere we went, alongside the regular bread. I loved it, brought lots home with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insalata di polpo, so good, sooooo gooood!!!! Fresh, soft octopus, sitting in some wonderful olive oil, lemon juice and some lemon zest too, probably my favourite plate in the whole week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also make a beautiful job out of prawn tempura, the dipping sauce could be more exciting, the prawns were flawless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florek enjoyed a tuna tartare there, wonderful fresh fish, shy on seasoning. Maybe they figure that the fish so good doesn’t need much? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our second visit I asked for a catch of the day, grilled, which the guy de-boned for me at the table, lovely treat, excellent grilled veggies on the side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve also frequented the place called La Dolce Vita, good pizza, including some with Sardinian pecorino and even honey. Izzie enjoyed a fresh pineapple smoothie in a cool glass thing, I don’t think there was anything else to it that pineapple and ice, super good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had our last supper there, insalata frutti di mare was excellent, together with a glass of cold, Sardinian vermentino. Their spritz wasn’t sensational, too much ice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way home to Toscana I said to Florek that I’d love a big mug of Lady Grey tea and a scrambled egg on toast, nice and fresh. Nadia and Cristian were looking after our cats when we were away and what did I find on the kitchen worktop on arrival? 8 lovely fresh eggs from their chickens. Some of them made a wonderful breakfast on Monday morning. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
