Dolce Mami for lunch.

Today we were off to the Golden Zone for our ladies lunch.

This is the restaurant of choice for today and as usual Ruth had made a reservation and we’d been shown a menu to preorder.  Eddie, Ruth’s designated helper had appeared at my door a few days ago with the menu so I could make a choice.

Connie is heading in.

The manageress had pulled some tables together for us so we could sit around the outside.  A nice idea.

Boy I hope I’m not too full from lunch.  I’d really like to try something in that case.

Lots of salads, Panini's and crepes.

Drink orders were taken (all nonalcoholic here) and I chose the Tamarandido one.  It is full of a delicious snow cone ice with tamarind.  The little bowl of red chili type sauce could be added if you wish.  I chose not to.  Many of the ladies had a green Chai tea that was icy like my drink.  They said it was delicious as well.

As we had preordered the lunch items came quickly.  I had chosen the green tuna salad and it was very good.  The tuna was very tasty.  I am really getting a taste for fresh tuna!

Eddie had the green shrimp salad.  Huge shrimp.

Me with my lunch.

One of the tasty crepe lunch plates.

Valerie had a Panini as did Marion.  Good as well.

So….did I have room for dessert.  You bet.  I have a soft spot for cheesecake and this one had a crumble topping with apple on the bottom.  As delicious as it looks and not too sweet.

As far as I know everyone enjoyed their lunch.  The service was good and the manageress was very helpful.  She said Dolce Mami had been around for about ten years and started with just a bakery.  It has now expanded to a cafe as well and has three other locations. 

A very nice place to have lunch.

Oh….and there were a few bags of desert that went home for those of us that were too full to eat it there. 

On the way home on the bus I spied one of the Carnival statues next to Panama.  Not a great photo but you can see it. 

A nice lunch out with friends.
