We visited Cara restaurant for my birthday, and it was such a lovely, cozy spot! The ambiance was perfect, and the staff were all very polite and attentive, which made our experience enjoyable. We started with the caramelized Brussels sprouts, oysters, and truffle fries. The oysters were incredibly fresh and definitely stood out, while the Brussels sprouts and truffle fries were decent, though nothing extraordinary. For drinks, we tried the Cactus and the Cali, and both were fantastic! We really enjoyed them. Our main course was the chicken shawarma. The flavor was okay, but we felt the presentation could have been better. Overall, Cara is a nice restaurant with a great atmosphere. We’re looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes!

Great vibe and ambience. The food is delicious. The wine list is good value for money. We ordered appetizers, salad, pasta and two mains. As happens more than we’d like, the waiter did not course the meal. We got the apps and then everything else. Argh. It doesn’t fit on the table and gets cold. I expect more from a higher end spot. I hope the my fix their service. RG.
