The entrance to the theatre is filled with a myriad of whimsical and quirky paraphernalia that sets the tone for the rest of the evening. We bought masks, had our faces painted and took our seats. They don't allow you to take pictures during the show which means you have to experience it yourself to know what it's truly about.
What I can share is the food we enjoyed :-)
First course - yummy cheese, figs, olives with pita bread and dips. We cleaned it out not knowing that there was way more in store
Second course - a beautifully creamy butternut and cumin soup that left you wanting more.
Third course - a butternut and mushroom ravioli topped with rocket and creamy sauce. I had to stop myself from finishing it
Fourth course - chocolate chili steak with veggies. My steak was a little too chocolaty for my liking - major let down. The veggies were great though. (NO IMAGE)
Fifth course - a trio of desserts. A raspberry sponge cake, rosemary chocolate mousse (no, this isn't a typo. the mousse had rosemary) and granadilla panna cotta. This was great too (the panna cotta, that is.) The chocolate mousse and sponge cake were alright...
Sixth course - le good time :-)
It was a fun evening filled with intrigue, mystery and good laughs. Highly recommended

I've been to Madame Zingara's twice - also had that little tower of treats, but our second course was a tomato soup, third was the mushroom ravioli pockets (sooooo good) and for mains I went for the vegetarian meal. Divine. We couldn't stay for dessert, but if I remember from the first time we went, it was delectable - also had the 3 mini puddings.
On a last note - those little vodka mint drinks are the best! I LOVE them. Soooo good. I rarely drink, and I think I had two of those. :D
