Honorary Downshifting Week (something like "the week lower for a change"), being held from Monday until Sunday in the U.S., wanted to share the experience of a restaurant I visited a few weeks ago. His name is Kensho, which means' awakening 'in the sense of' breaking the illusion 'according to Buddhist philosophy.
This is a vegetarian restaurants closed-door that opens Saturday in Cochabamba some to 3400, Boedo, two blocks from the station of the same name of the line E and also the famous corner of San Juan and Boedo.
Beyond the excellent food, I found that the greatest merit of this place is the dynamics and the environment: first, because the dishes are served at the same time to all diners, and second, because it has a quiet atmosphere and relaxed in that really want to talk. Even the show offered Long-She (the group that make up the chef Máximo Cabrera and Guillermina Diaz, his wife) at the end of the night, is soft and smooth (it is worth the incredible voice of the singer).
The menu is a "meal in four steps," as described by the founders of the site (Cabrera and Martin Rodriguez). These consist of a plate with guacamole, humus, carrots and eggplant mayonnaise input, gazpacho and ceviche of mushrooms as a second step, a main course that depends on the season but could be for example quinoa tortilla with goat cheese and citrus, potatoes bravas with girgolas skipped, kramble pumpkin and a dessert that also varies, but can include apple crisp with ice cream and chocolate with wasabi, or banana with mass-edged, soft fruit, ice cream and chocolate with chili accompanied with a flagstone chocolate salty.
While Kensho is not very cheap (45 pesos lunch and the show, plus beverages, which can be craft beer, organic wine or a delicious lemonade with ginger and basil), the truth is worthwhile if it is to just download a change and forget the world for a couple of hours.
The place opens at 21 and may last until one o'clock. It has capacity for 20 people and reservations must be made by mail to kensho arroba restaurant point ar dot net or by phone at 4957 7679. They can check the upcoming dinner in the restaurant's blog.
