A Hidden Gem Restaurant That Feels Like an Emerald Wonderland 🍃
“Stepping inside is like entering a fairyland, a secret garden of the city 🌷.” ✨【Restaurant Vibe】 The restaurant is on the street, with an unassuming logo, giving it a feel of a hidden paradise. As you enter, it’s like stepping into another world of 🍃, filled with greenery 🪴, very rainforest-y and comfortable. The sunlight filtering in is perfect for fairies 🧚🏻♀️ to take photos 📸. Every corner is photo-ready. 🍽️【Menu】 (The menu rotates from time to time, likely based on seasonal ingredients) 1️⃣ Steak Tartare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pure hand-cut beef tenderloin with a raw egg 🍳, paired with red onion 🧅, pickles 🥒, and a colorful array of edible flowers and herbs (baby capers, spinach, micro shiso, artichoke chips, topinambur). The presentation is stunning, and the combination of beef tenderloin with raw egg in your mouth is even more breathtaking! 2️⃣ Shellfish Tostada ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Topped with large pieces of scallop habanero ceviche and shrimp 🦐, paired with avocado-chipotle mayonnaise, and a base of black truffle potato chips. One bite and you’re hit with the sweetness of seafood and the aroma of black truffles, spreading from your mouth to your nose (haha, not exaggerating, it’s so good you can’t get enough!) 3️⃣ Peruvian Octopus Anticucho ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Grilled octopus tentacles 🐙 with unique corn kernels 🌽, a first-time try but so delicious. The tentacles are super thick, generously portioned, and have a very bouncy, tender texture. The corn is not sweet but has a special variety with a corn flavor, very appetizing. 4️⃣ Moqueca ⭐️⃣⭐️⭐️ Brazilian cod fish 🐟 and shrimp 🦐 cooked together with coconut milk, served with distinct Thai jasmine rice 🍚, a perfect companion for rice. The portion is a bit small, though. 5️⃣ Pollito Caraqueño ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A whole chicken roasted to super tenderness, juicy with just one bite. Dipped in their house-made hot sauce, it has a unique flavor worth trying. 6️⃣ Cocktails They have non-alcoholic options and cocktails, perfect for a sip 🥂, all mixed very well. #BaltimoreFood #JHUFood #JohnsHopkinsUniversity #dmv #dmvfood
