Zeno Gourmet

I know how many of you must be thinking already 'Here she goes again with yet another post about a restaurant she went to, didn't like and is going to complain about...'. If you are one of those you are, in a word, wrong!
Yesterday I went to Zeno Gourmet and I liked it. Liked, liked, liked! I liked the cool ambiance, I liked the good looking staff, elegantly dressed in black and I liked the food!
I don't know how many of you have gone through the experience of being on a diet and still wanting to go out your average of 4 times a week, but take it from me, it is HARD! You just don't get enough options, are generally embarassed of asking waiters if instead it can come with vegetables (whatever the it is) and after the third time you are generally tired of eating tomato and lettuce! That's why I thought this Zeno Gourmet was such a great find. Grilled salmon with herbs, grilled vegetables (zuchinni, eggplant, cherry tomato, bell peper, onion) and pureed Spinach. How's that for a delicious and healthy meal? I was so entangled and happy with my dish that I can't really talk about any other dishes, but everyone else seemed happy as well!
To end it off, I succumbed to gluttony. I shared (let me stress that) a trio of mousses: Chocolate, passion fruit and mango. They were by far the best mousses I've had in a very long time. Rich and sweet just to the right point, with a delightfully creamy texture.
There were some things that I didn't like (of course, how could I not?!) such as the smoke and the service taking a little more than it should have. But really... who cares? In the end, I know I don't!
