Visiting Ola Cocina Del Mar for their Counter Set Lunch was a spur of the moment decision. One which, after eating my fill of it, I regret not having sooner!
After perching my butt on one of the tall chairs lining the counter, a basket of warm bread with a saucer of olive oil quite swiftly appeared. The wait staff asked if I'd like some balsamic vinegar to which I nodded in reply, before he proceeded to splash some in to the oil.
There's no choice for the starter in this Set Lunch but I couldn't be happier with what was served as it comprised of two cool components - Cuanas and a bowl of Gazpacho.
The former is essentially a Peruvian potato salad with tomato mayo, hard-boiled egg and Migas. The latter just happens to be the BEST gazpacho I have had. Chilled just right with a full mouthfeel from a smooth, creamy texture, it danced on my tastebuds with sweetness while a raspberry vinegar gave it just the right tinge of extra dimension.
