BELLAGIO

BEST FOR Lunch and dinner meetings that don’t break the bank. FOOD Expect value-for-money Mediterranean food. For starters, try the tender beef carpaccio complemented by peppery rocket salad. For mains, there’s the famous salmon burger or veal parmigiano. The crumbed veal is cooked in a chunky tomato-and-basil sauce and topped with parmesan cheese. The seafood risotto is packed with prawns, calamari and mussels. The tiramisu, from a fairly small dessert menu that changes weekly, is recommended. DRINKS The bar offers a wide selection of local and international wines. Special varietals such as the Vilafonte Series M and the Bourgogne Bouchard Pere Fils make the list. SERVICE The waiters are knowledgeable and make good wine suggestions. AMBIENCE The white linen tablecloths, crystal glasses and blue-and-white nautical cushioned wicker chairs create a classy but relaxed ambience. (MI)
