Tempo makes a good day

Yesterday was my name day. My bf had a meeting at Salud with the guys of the apartment building. And I thought to myself that I'm not going to eat some lame ass home cooked something if he gets to go to a restaurant on "my" day. So I chose Tempo. Went alone. Didn't even bother to ask anyone to join me since I usually need to book my friends weeks in advance.
They had this Churrascaria Brasileira thing going on there. Everything on that menu looked absolutely fantastic but I chose the chicken wrapped in a banana leaf and what else came with it. This theme offered a free starter buffet. Different small tapas-like options. cheese, cantaloupe, salmon, serrano? ham, lime? crab tales and marinated garlic and even something that looked like skinned mini fish. It looked too scary so I didn't even try it.
For the first time ever I got to really see how food changes the taste of wine. I ordered a glass of wine that goes with my dinner. Red or white as long as it was good with the meal. I got Argentinian chardonnay Graffigna. I tried some before the meal came and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavors. But when the chicken was brought to me and I got to try the wine with it, I was in awe. It was ever better. A Perfect combination. After I had finished the meal and I still had some wine left it didn't taste as good anymore. I mean it was good but not that good. Later I went to see if that particular wine was available in Alko and there it was. 7,99€ / bottle. I paid 5,50€ for a 12cl.
The meal was not very big. Hence I just had to have dessert. It was very very expensive, I mean at least to me 9€ for a dessert is much. Pannacotta al Mojito or something like that it was called. Came with a rum-chocolate shot. Really good. I was a bit disappointed by the size-price ratio of it. It was a small dose with that horrible price. But I am not complaining. It was a perfect meal all in all and I felt really good and happy after that. Not something I've been feeling much lately.
Special thanks to the very nice, friendly staff for choosing the perfect wine and not looking at me like I was a freak sitting there all alone :D
Wonderful restaurant. I do recommend.
It was a good day.
