Alloro Wine Bar & Restaurant

This little restaurant is delicious!  It's a must try if you are in Bandon!  The oysters were super fresh and the crab bisque was awesome.  My boyfriend and I both got the Seafood Stew and it was unbelievable.  They had wonderful service and a great wine list.

Rebecca and I are down here in Bandon for a bit of vacation.  A friend suggested this restaurant and it was a good one.

Tuesday night in April is a quiet time in this town, which means we get all  the attention at the restaurant.  It turned out to be a very nice meal.

We started with a papaya salad that was dressed with a sweet onion dressing.  Dressing good, but not too much. Rebecca had a Tuscan fish stew. She liked it, but would have liked a bit more spice. I had lamb Osobuco. My dish was wonderfully tender. It was served with artichoke hearts and peas. We were lucky enough to pair our meal with a nice Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from 2009.  It was a great pairing.

Dessert was a chocolate mouse.  In this case it was in a dome shape with a hard chocolate cover.  It was then covered in a wonderful sauce.  Two truffles graced the side of the plate.  It was one of the best chocolate mouses I have ever eaten.

Service was just right. It was a very nice relaxing dinner. I would encourage anyone to stop by for dinner. We will stop by again.

This was the best meal I have ever had in my life. We came in bedraggled vagabonds with disheveled beach hair, and left kings and princesses. We had no reservations,  I recommend getting reservations if possible, but we were lucky enough to be squeezed in. Each dish that we sampled was delicious. One conversation went like this, "you should try this"  
"What does it taste like? Oh my god! That is exactly what food is supposed to taste like."
Another, while I was devouring the panna cotta, which had a delightful rhubarb compote  went like this, "blah blah blah"
"I'm sorry. Were you talking to me? I'm in heaven right now. If you'd like for me to get back to you please leave a message."
