Baltimore｜A Hidden Gem of a Restaurant Straight Out

"The moment you step inside, it feels like entering a fairy tale—a secret garden hidden within the city 🌷." ✨ Vibe Tucked away on a street with an understated logo, this place feels like discovering a hidden paradise. As soon as you enter, you’re transported into a lush, green oasis 🍃. The space is filled with plants 🪴, giving it a rainforest-like ambiance. When sunlight streams in, it’s absolutely magical—perfect for fairies 🧚🏻‍♀️ and photos 📸. Every corner is Instagram-worthy! 🍽️ Menu (The menu rotates periodically, likely based on seasonal ingredients.) 1️⃣ Steak Tartare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hand-cut beef tenderloin topped with a raw egg 🍳, red onions 🧅, pickles 🥒, and edible flowers (baby capers, spinach, micro shiso, artichoke chips, topinambur). It’s visually stunning—and the combination of beef and egg melts in your mouth! 2️⃣ Shellfish Tostada ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Features large chunks of scallop habanero ceviche and shrimp 🦐, topped with avocado-chipotle mayonnaise, served on a black truffle-infused chip. One bite delivers the sweetness of seafood + the aroma of black truffle—an explosion of flavor! 3️⃣ Peruvian Octopus Anticucho ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Grilled octopus tentacles 🐙 paired with giant corn kernels 🌽. The octopus is thick, tender, and incredibly juicy. The corn isn’t sweet but has a unique, savory flavor—so addictive! 4️⃣ Moqueca ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Brazilian-inspired dish with codfish 🐟 and shrimp 🦐 simmered in coconut milk, served with fragrant Thai jasmine rice 🍚. Perfect for rice lovers—though the portion is a bit small. 5️⃣ Pollito Caraqueño ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A whole roasted chicken, incredibly tender and juicy. Paired with house-made hot sauce—a unique and must-try flavor! 6️⃣ Cocktails Offers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
