You're not quite sure what you're going to get when you first approach Cafe Arriba. Something Mexican?
Then you wend up the stairs and you're still not sure. Chillis?
But then you check the menu and your heart sings. Three items and a side of chips. EBCB!
And it is magnificent. Gorgeous grub moulded into an apparent tribute to the Colosseum, with the beans representing the Palatine Hill and the bacon the Domus Aurea. Flawless, you could use it as a map. And delicious. I demolished it like a Nero at the grapes.
Was also nice to see the most cogent explanation of coffee variants I've ever seen
And is there something of the amphora about the condiments? Or is that just me?
Anyway. I'm just being silly. This is a brilliant place. Lovely people. Lovely food. Get yourself to Skye and get stuck in.
