Yesterday me and my brother came down to
Kingston in London for my cousins birthday, we had lunch at an Argentinian
restaurant called Cau. I had never heard of this place before we went but I was
really looking forward to trying out something new. The restaurant has this
really chilled, modern vibe to it, playing a wide range of feel good music, you
really feel quite relaxed and it surprisingly wasn't too busy considering it
was a Saturday! I assume it gets busier during evening hours. We were sat right
by the river Thames, I could only imagine how lovely it must be during summer
time sitting by the Thames having your lunch.
My uncle was telling me that the
restaurant prides itself on how great their steaks are so it was only right I
tried out the steak. I went for a rump steak with a side of chunky chips, it's
been a while since I had a good steak so I was really looking forward to trying
this. Now, this may sound silly but if there's one thing I never understood is
why people have their steaks medium-rare or medium-well.. The sight of rare
meat put me off so bad that I would always have well done meat. I don't think
I'll ever make that mistake again lol. So the longer you cook steak, the drier
and tougher it gets, that's why they say having it medium-rare or medium-well
is the best because the juices are preserved nicely. As I had a few bites of
the steak, I was loving it but the more I ate it the harder it became to enjoy
lol (this is when I really started to taste the dryness and toughness). Overall
it was a nice meal, the chunky chips were cooked perfectly but I now know not
to order well done steak again lol.
Virgin mojito!
For dessert I had chocolate fondant with
vanilla ice cream. This was my first time trying chocolate fondant and it was
yummy!
To finish off everything me and my auntie
had Moroccan mint tea.. once again it was my first time trying it haha. I loved
it though, it's so refreshing for a warm drink.
We were literally in this restaurant for a good 3 hours or so. My
cousin, auntie and uncle were there for longer as me and my brother arrived a
little late.. all in all they were there all afternoon! Hence why it was
getting dark when we left, we nearly almost got blown away too because the wind
was extremely strong!
I definitely recommend this place, I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever
you pick to have! The prices are also quite reasonable.
